Description: Updated discussion of IRS Proposed Regulations under Section 162(m)(6), their potential impact upon the life insurance industry, and a 2 percent de minimis exception.

Description: Presented at April 1986 Spring Meeting. This session discussion is about the effect of recent changes in tax structures on employee benefits - their value to employees, limitations on deductibility by employers, taxability to employees, and the direction of likely future changes. Will the continued emphasis on additional revenue generation result in a shift in employer emphasis toward additional cash compensation versus employee benefits?
