Get ready for the “Cadillac” tax
The 2010 Affordable Care Act added a 40% excise tax on high-cost employer-sponsored health insurance (sometimes called “Cadillac” plans). “High-cost” means plans with an annual cost of more than $10,200 for an individual and $27,500 for a family. Beginning in 2018, the tax applies to the amount above that limit. The tax is assessed annually, and is permanent, nondeductible, and applicable to many types of health coverage.
Because of its potentially broad impact, you’ll want to start reviewing the health insurance coverage you offer to employees to learn how your business will be affected.
