Event Synopsis:
When President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, it affected Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which could drastically impact the way companies strategize their executive compensation programs. This amendment removes the tax benefit related to performance-based compensation, which could result to an increase in disallowed tax deductions. While the short and long-term implications of this amendment are still unclear, it’s imperative for companies to prepare for this new tax regime by putting in place some action items and planning considerations.
In this LIVE Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will provide and present an in-depth analysis of the fundamentals as well as recent developments in Tax Reform Section 162(m) and Transition Guidance. Speakers will also present its significant impact on executive compensation as well as the best practices in addressing relevant compliance issues.
Key topics include:
- Tax Reform Section 162(m) – An Overview
- Code Section 162(m) Transition Rule
- Potential Implications to Executive Compensation
- Analyzing Critical Issues and Challenges
- Risk Mitigation Strategies for an Effective Legal Compliance
