Abstract:
In a world in which planning for retirement is increasingly important, but also increasingly difficult, the utilization of the exemption for employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement in Internal Revenue Code Section 410(b)(3)(A) provides a “win-win” situation for the employees and employer. The employees have the guarantee of a minimum pension plan as a result of the collective bargaining agreement while allowing the business owner to establish a pension plan with more substantial benefits—a defined benefit plan.Keywords: defined benefit plan; discriminatory pension benefits; small business pension plans; IRC Sec. 410(b)(3)(a)
