280G

280G

Knowledgeable, Experienced Consultants

Hatch & Associates, among other things, make sure that (while using what 280G stands for) an executive receives their safe harbor (which can be up to three times their base amount) upon termination.

THE GOLDEN PARACHUTE

The golden parachute rules (under section 280G) are intended to discourage excessive compensation payments to executives in the event of a CIC (change-in-control benefits) by imposing negative tax consequences to both the company and the recipient. Under the rules, if the present value of a CIC payment to an executive exceeds his/her “safe harbor” (three times the executive’s average taxable compensation over the five most recent calendar years preceding the CIC or their “base amount”), the company loses tax deductions for the amounts considered “excess parachute payments.”

That’s where “the golden parachute” and 280G come into action; the 280G is basically a way to keep golden parachutes under control (think “golden handcuffs”). Additionally, the executive is required to pay a 20% excise tax on the excess payment. To discourage these excess payments (and thus the taxation), Section 280G has been added to the IRC by Congress.
