Exception From Supplemental Annuity Tax on Railroad Employers

요약

This document contains proposed regulations that provide guidance to employers covered by the Railroad Retirement Tax Act. The Railroad Retirement Tax Act imposes a supplemental tax on those employers, at a rate determined by the Railroad Retirement Board, to fund the Railroad Retirement Board's supplemental annuity benefit. These proposed regulations provide rules for applying the exception from the supplemental tax with respect to employees covered by a supplemental pension plan established pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement and for applying a related excise tax with respect to employees for whom the exception applies. This document also provides notice of a public hearing on these proposed regulations.
