The Hardships of Claiming R&D Tax Credits Yourself
Tax Savings for Employees: Employees can pay for eligible benefits with pre-tax dollars, reducing their taxable income and increasing their take-home pay.
Tax Savings for Employers: Employers can save on payroll taxes by reducing the taxable wages of their employees.
Flexible Benefits Options: Employees can choose from a range of benefits that best meet their needs, enhancing job satisfaction and retention.
How Section 125 Plans Work
Under a Section 125 plan, employees elect to have a portion of their salary redirected to pay for eligible benefits on a pre-tax basis. This reduces the employee’s taxable income and provides significant tax savings for both the employee and the employer.
