Section 125: Benefits of Section 125 Plans, How They Work, How They Can Save Your Business Money, and How to Claim Your Section 125 Plan

Maximize Savings with Section 125 Plans for Your Business

Employee benefits are a critical aspect of attracting and retaining talent. Section 125 plans, also known as cafeteria plans, offer significant tax savings for both employers and employees. Here’s an overview of the benefits of Section 125 plans, how they work, and how Renaissance Business Advisory can help you implement and claim your plan effortlessly.

What Are Section 125 Plans?

Section 125 plans, or cafeteria plans, allow employees to convert taxable income into non-taxable benefits. These benefits can include health insurance premiums, flexible spending accounts (FSAs), and dependent care assistance, among others.

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.
