In this regard, the Department believes that most employers with small plans that are taking longer than 7 business days to deposit participant contributions will expedite the depositing of those contributions to take advantage of the safe harbor. The Department also believes that where participant contributions are being made by employers with small plans within a period shorter than 7 business days, few employers with small plans will incur the costs attendant to modifying their payroll system in order to hold such contributions for a few additional days."

- Excerpt: "In a surprisingly swift and unexpected turn of events, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has reversed its long-standing position with respect to a public company's right to deduct certain 'performance-based compensation' under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Revenue Ruling 2008-13, issued by the IRS on February 21, 2008, provides that the performance-based compensation requirements of Section 162(m) are not met if compensation could be payable on a termination without cause or for good reason, or on a voluntary retirement, even if the applicable performance goals are met. This Ruling is directly counter to the IRS's position in prior private letter rulings issued as recently as 2006." (authored by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP) |

Additionally, as companies amend their compensation arrangements for Section 409A, they will need to consider whether such amendments will result in the employment contracts no longer qualifying for the Section 162(m) transition relief described above on the basis the employment contracts have been renewed or extended."
