Don’t let the episode title scare you away! Matt welcomes colleague Leanne Reagan to discuss how the House’s proposed tax reform bill impacts compensation arrangements and how, if passed into law, it could completely revolutionize how employers structure future compensation practices. Specific topics include substantial limitations on deferred compensation, corporate/individual tax rate reductions, and new limits on tax-exempt entity compensation agreements. Matt and Leanne also discuss items that were not included in the initial draft of the proposed bill, including changes to 401(k) deferral limits, items that were added even after the proposal came out including limitations on carried interest arrangements and equity grants for start-ups.
