Executive Compensation To remain competitive, your company needs to attract, hire and retain high-quality executive talent. A competitive compensation package may include a variable mix of cash, equity, phantom-equity and insurance benefits. These various components are subject to differing tax treatment by the company and the individual recipient, both as to classification and timing. We advise companies on designing packages that yield after-tax results that encourage your executives to further your business objectives and enhance shareholder value. Our services include assistance in: · Choosing the proper mix of compensation components (base, bonus, long-term incentives) · Rewarding desired behaviors with compensation · Properly reporting the tax treatment of incentive plans · Selecting the correct form of payment for your business–cash (e.g. SARS or phantom-stock) versus equity (stock or option-based) · Effectively communicating the compensation structure · Dealing with compensation in relation to corporate transactions · Choosing the correct compensation structure for your business entity · Supplementing company retirement plans   Return to Tax Services Main Page
