Compliance

Tax treatment of executive compensation is designed to accomplish several complex policy concerns that range from encouraging performance-based compensation to encouraging the success of startups and to discouraging compensation in excess of certain amounts.

The most notable provisions of the tax code (Internal Revenue Code) which apply specifically to executive compensation are:

• Tax Code §162(m) - Deductibility of Executive Compensation
• Tax Code §409A - Deferred Compensation & SERPS
