About the Webinar

The excise tax on executive compensation was introduced with the 2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. A year later, on December 31, 2018, the IRS and Treasury released their much-awaited excise tax guidance for executive compensation. This webinar walks through the guidance and what credit unions must now do to comply.

Jim has worked closely with the state credit union regulators in the 47 states that have state credit union charters, as well as with regulators at the National Credit Union Administration.
