Explaining firm willingness to forfeit tax deductions under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m): the million-dollar cap
Article Abstract:
The Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) restricts the corporate tax deduction related to executive compensation. The rule contemplates ceiling of $1 million in compensation for each of the top 5 executives of a company. A study examining the efficacy of this code is presented. It is observed that where the re-contracting value is higher, the company tends to forego the tax deductions. Similarly companies with higher tax benefits and political costs tend to use the tax deduction.
