Paperwork Burden on For‑Profit Businesses
The IRS is continuing an information collection on golden parachute payments that the notice says affects business or other for‑profit organizations. The agency estimates 800 respondents, about 15 hours per respondent, for an estimated total of 12,000 annual burden hours.
Denial of Deduction for Excess Parachutes
The regulations described deny a tax deduction for excess parachute payments. A parachute payment is defined as compensation to a disqualified individual that is contingent on a change in ownership or control of a corporation.
Small Corporation Exemption Conditions
The notice states certain payments, including payments from a small corporation, are exempt from the definition of parachute payment if specific requirements are met such as shareholder approval and disclosure requirements. Meeting those requirements means the payments are not treated as parachute payments under the regulations.
