Discriminatory Tax-Free Medical Reimbursements
Article Abstract:
The Tax Reform Act of 1978 made drastic changes in the way corporations provided tax-free medical expense reimbursements to key executives and stockholders. The 1978 act instituted anti-discrimination regulations. The purpose of these regulations was to prevent the usage of these plans for high-paid employee compensation exclusively. The act did not accomplish its goal of eliminating such discrimination. Many methods exist of providing tax-free medical reimbursement to executives. These methods are examined.

Unnecessary Risk
Article Abstract:
Life insurance companies currently don't know what tax law their business will come under this year. Congress is expected to send their tax bills to conference soon to provide for new taxes for life insurance companies retroactive to January 1, 1984. Passage of the tax bill is not certain because 1984 is an election year. This uncertainty even makes it difficult for insurance companies to price their policies.
