Understand and utilize nonqualified deferred compensation plans (NQDC) for your clients. NQDC is essentially a compensation arrangement that provides for the payment of cash, property or benefits and does not come within one of the categories of deferred compensation arrangements which are "qualified" under applicable tax statutes. Written by experienced practitioners in the areas of finance and insurance law, this updated edition defines the employee and employer perspectives regarding executive compensation issues. The manual explains how NQDC offers solutions to complex compensation issues and covers key topics, including how to tailor NQDC to serve both employers and employees and the tax consequences for each, structuring plans to comply with Section 409A, the timing of benefits under income tax and FICA rules, and how to incorporate it with other plans.
