Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the increasing use of stock options in executive compensation, we examine how taxes influence the choice of compensation and document that income deferral is an important margin of adjustment in response to tax rate changes. To account for this option in the empirical analysis, we explore deferral by estimating how executives' choice of compensation between current and deferred income depends on changes in tax policy. Our empirical results suggest a significant impact of taxes on the composition of executive compensation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The trends in executive pay and labor income tax rates since the 1940s suggest a high elasticity of taxable income with respect to tax policy. By contrast, the level and structure of executive compensation have been largely unresponsive to tax incentives since the 1980s. However, the relative tax advantage of different forms of pay was small during this period. Using a sample of top executives in large firms from 1946 to 2005, we also find a small short run response of salaries, qualified stock options, and bonuses paid after retirement to changes in tax rates on labor incomeâ?"even though tax rates were significantly higher and more heterogeneous across individuals in the first several decades following WWII. We explore several potential explanations for the conflicting impressions given by the long-run and short-run correlations between taxes and pay, including changes in social norms and concerns about pay equality

Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in the share of executive compensation paid through stock options. In this paper, we examine the extent to which tax policy has influenced the composition of executive compensation, and discuss the implications of rising stock-based pay for tax policy. We begin by describing the tax rules for executive pay in detail and analyzing how changes in various tax rates affect the tax advantages of stock options relative to salary and bonus. Our empirical analysis leads to three conclusions. First, there is little evidence that tax changes have played a major role int the dramatic explosion in executive stock option pay since 1980. Although the tax advantage of options has approximately dounbled since the early advantage of options has approximately doubled since the early 1980s options currently have only a slight tax advantage relative to cash - approximately $4 per $100 of pre-tax compensation to the executive. A more convincing story for the dramatic explosion in stock options involves changes in corporate governance and the market for corporate control. For example, there is a strong correlation between the fraction of shares held by large institutional investors and the fraction of ececutive pay in the form of stock options, a result that holds both longitudinally and cross-sectionally. Second, we find evidence that the million dollar rule (which limited the corporate deductibility of non-performance-related executive compensateion to $1 million) led firms to adjust the composition of their pay away from salary and toward "performance related pay, " although our estimates suggest that substitution was minor. We find no evience that the regulation decreased the level of total compensation. Third, we examine whether there is evidence for significant shifting of the timing of option exercieses in response to changes in tax rates. After replicating the Goolsbee (1999) result regardin tax-shifting with our data for the 1993 tax reform, we shoat no such shifting occurred in either of the two tax reforms of the 1980s. Moreover, we find evidence that much of the unusually large level of option exercises in 1992 was the result of the rising stock market rather than the change in marginal tax rates

Book excerpt: "Using a recent regulatory change of CFO coverage under IRC Section 162(m) as a natural experiment, I provide causal evidence that firms use deferred compensation to preserve the tax deductibility of executive non-performance-based compensation. This finding contradicts the conventional wisdom that firms use deferred compensation to mitigate the agency cost of debt or to reallocate compensation expense from a low-tax year to a high-tax year. I also find that executives defer compensation before retirement to save state income tax. In addition, cash compensation is deferred when the firm faces liquidity constraints. My results suggest that tax reform limiting the deductibility of executive equity compensation may have an unintended consequence of creating incentives for firms to use deferred compensation to preserve the tax deductibility of equity compensation"--Page iv.

This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understand and utilize nonqualified deferred compensation plans (NQDC) for your clients. NQDC is essentially a compensation arrangement that provides for the payment of cash, property or benefits and does not come within one of the categories of deferred compensation arrangements which are "qualified" under applicable tax statutes. Written by experienced practitioners in the areas of finance and insurance law, this updated edition defines the employee and employer perspectives regarding executive compensation issues. The manual explains how NQDC offers solutions to complex compensation issues and covers key topics, including how to tailor NQDC to serve both employers and employees and the tax consequences for each, structuring plans to comply with Section 409A, the timing of benefits under income tax and FICA rules, and how to incorporate it with other plans.
Download or read book The Impact of Personal Income Taxation on Executive Compensation written by Peter Katuscak and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the effect of personal income taxation on the sensitivity of executive compensation to company performance and the use of stock option and restricted stock grants underlying this sensitivity. The theoretical model predicts that, if a single tax rate applies to the entire compensation package, an increase in the tax rate weakly diminishes the equilibrium level of managerial effort and the after-tax pay-to-performance sensitivity, with the effect on the pre-tax pay-to-performance sensitivity being ambiguous. When salary and option gains are taxed at a higher rate than stock gains, tax changes also induce shifting among the individual compensation instruments. Interestingly, this differential taxation leads to a positive amount of stocks in the compensation contract even in the absence of any desire to incentivize the manager. In addition, an increase in the tax rate applied to salary and option gains may increase the level of managerial effort in equilibrium. On the other hand, an increase in the tax rate applied to stock gains weakly decreases the equilibrium level of managerial effort and strictly decreases the amount of after-tax pay-to-performance sensitivity generated by stock grants. The second part of the paper exploits the variation in the U.S. federal personal income tax rate generated by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, as well as variation in the combined federal and state income tax rates during the period 1992-1996 to empirically evaluate the impact of personal income taxation on the pay-to-stock-price sensitivity generated by stock-option and restricted stock grants. The results show that an increase in the ordinary income tax rate decreases the pay-to-stock-price sensitivity generated by option grants when time series variation in the marginal tax rate is utilized in the identification, with the estimates retaining the same sign but being statistically insignificant when only the variation in the marginal tax rate originating from cross-sectional variation in the federal income tax rate and/or state tax rate changes is used in the estimation. On the other hand, stock grant sensitivity is found to be unresponsive to changes in the ordinary income tax rate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The company is under-performing, its share price is trailing, and the CEO gets...a multi-million-dollar raise. This story is familiar, for good reason: as this book clearly demonstrates, structural flaws in corporate governance have produced widespread distortions in executive pay. Pay without Performance presents a disconcerting portrait of managers' influence over their own pay--and of a governance system that must fundamentally change if firms are to be managed in the interest of shareholders. Lucian Bebchuk and Jesse Fried demonstrate that corporate boards have persistently failed to negotiate at arm's length with the executives they are meant to oversee. They give a richly detailed account of how pay practices--from option plans to retirement benefits--have decoupled compensation from performance and have camouflaged both the amount and performance-insensitivity of pay. Executives' unwonted influence over their compensation has hurt shareholders by increasing pay levels and, even more importantly, by leading to practices that dilute and distort managers' incentives. This book identifies basic problems with our current reliance on boards as guardians of shareholder interests. And the solution, the authors argue, is not merely to make these boards more independent of executives as recent reforms attempt to do. Rather, boards should also be made more dependent on shareholders by eliminating the arrangements that entrench directors and insulate them from their shareholders. A powerful critique of executive compensation and corporate governance, Pay without Performance points the way to restoring corporate integrity and improving corporate performance.
