Golden Parachute Payments
A portion of the payments made by a corporation to key
personnel that exceeds their usual compensation may not
be deductible. This occurs when the corporation has an
agreement (golden parachute) with these key employees
to pay them these excess amounts if control of the
corporation changes. See section 280G and Regulations
section 1.280G-1.

$500,000 is reduced by any amounts disallowed as
excess parachute payments. See section 162(m)(5) for

purpose, a parachute payment is any payment to a senior
executive officer for departure from a company for any

already treated as a parachute payment. See section
280G(e) and Notice 2008-94.

provided taxable fringe benefits to its officers, such as
personal use of a car, do not deduct as wages the amount
allocated for depreciation and other expenses claimed
elsewhere on the return.
