Legislative Proposal to Harm Pension Plans

Senator Hatch, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has called a hearing to discuss ‘corporate integration’, which is a proposal that would overhaul how a corporation’s earnings are taxed. An often cited negative to this proposal is the increase in tax burden on pension plans and other tax-exempt entities.

This FocusOn webinar will review ‘corporate integration’ and provide an overview of what was discussed at the Senate Finance Hearing (scheduled for Tuesday, May 17th). In addition, we will ask for comments on the proposal to include in any written testimony that ERIC will submit to the record for this hearing.

Alexander Reid, Morgan Lewis, will lead the call. Alex is in the tax-exempt group at Morgan Lewis and advises tax-exempt clients on planning, structure, and transaction matters. Prior to joining Morgan Lewis, Alex was Legislative Counsel for the US Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation.

Why should I sign-up for this call? The call will benefit those who are involved with a defined benefit pension plan – if you are in investments (e.g., CIO or CFO), accounting, funding, government relations, legal, HR, you will learn how this proposal impacts the pension plan your company sponsors.

Additional speakers to be named.
