  • 4, ¢, 4, Tax Reform Will Force Complete Realpraisal of Current Employee Benefit Packages and a Return to the Basics
    E B R I EMPLOYEE BENEFIT RESEARCH INSTITUTE OCIOBER 1986 NUMBER FIFTY-NINE 4, ¢, 4, Tax reform will force complete realpraisal of current employee benefit packages and a return to the basics. 4,4,4, Tax Reform and Employee Benefits The recently enacted tax reform legislation makes dramatic changes in employee benefits both through the numerous provisions directly affecting benefits and through the overall reduction in individual income tax rates. The changes in the pension and welfare benefit area are intended to produce more comparable employee benefit coverage of rank and file employees and of highly compensated employees. Pension changes, assuming that plans are maintained, increase the number of vested workers through faster vesting schedules, increase pension amounts for rank and file employees by limiting the coordination with Social Security benefits, and mandate broader and more comparable coverage of rank and file employees. Higher-paid employees, however, suffer potential losses in benefits: restrictions on 401(k) salary reduction contributions ($7,000 cap, tighter nondiscrimination rules, and inclusion of all after-tax contributions as annual additions under the section 415 limits); a new limit of $200,000 on the amount of compensation that may be taken into account under all qualified plans; a new excess benefit tax of 15 percent on most annual distributions over $112,500; and sharply reduced maximum benefits payable to early retirees under defined benefit plans. Changes in welfare benefit areas aim for the same effect: an intended broadening of benefits because of tighter nondiscrimination rules that also could reduce tax-favored benefits payable to the higher paid.
