CD of a Teleconference with an Q&A
|
Attorneys, executives and benefits administrators have anxiously awaited the release of the 409A final regulations on designing and administering nonqualified deferred compensation plans. For the past few years, companies have been operating in the dark, without meaningful government guidelines on the taxation of these plan deferrals.
The final regulations will have a significant impact for companies that operate nonqualified deferred compensation plans.
Listen as our experienced panel explains the requirements under 409A, key issues addressed in the final regulations, and best practices for complying with 409A under the final regulations.
Our panelists include:
Harvey A. Kurtz, Partner, Foley & Lardner, Milwaukee, member of the firm’s Tax & Employee Benefits practice. He represents businesses, non-profits and churches with respect to employee benefits and tax qualified retirement plans and is a member of the International Pension and Employee Benefits Lawyers Association.
Andrew C. Liazos, Partner, McDermott Will & Emery LLP, Boston, heads the Boston Employee Benefits practice and the firm’s Executive Compensation Group. He is an active member of the ABA Tax Section’s Executive Compensation subcommittee and is ranked as a leading executive compensation and employee benefits lawyer by Chambers USA.
Keith A. Mong, Shareholder, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, Washington, DC, is a member of the Employee Benefits Group of the firm’s Tax Section. He has counseled a range of clients, including Fortune 100 companies, middle market and emerging businesses, and a variety of health care systems, and has written several articles on executive compensation and employee benefits.
The panel addresses these questions:
- What are the most significant changes for deferred compensation plans under the 409A regulations?
- What are the potential penalties for failing to comply with 409A?
- What are some best practices for complying with the new 409A regulations?
- How will companies have to amend deferred compensation plans set up during the transitional period before the final regs were released?
