Best Answer

Many deferred compensation plans have a death benefit/life insurance element. Typically the death benefit insurance is paid for by the employer. In most situations the company does not take an expense for this and the employee does not take it into income, therefor the benefit is being paid for with dollars that have not been taxed. Thus making the death benefit taxable to the beneficiary.

How do savings and donations help in reducing income tax?

Savings don't...unless they are done as part of a qualified savings plan...like an IRA or 401K, in which case the amount saved is deducted, or actually not included, in your taxable earnings. (Althouh under most plans when this happens, they will become taxable when withdrawn....the tax is deferred NOT "free"). generally, the earnings on savings are taxable, albeit there are some specific types of investments the income from which is not taxable (although they generally get a corresponding lower return), and some earnings. like dividends and capital gains are taxed at a lower rate. Donations (with certain restraints) made to qualified charities are deductible from otherwise taxable earnings.

Is group life insurance deductible as a business expense?

An employer's contribution to a group insurance plan is deductible as a business expense. This benefit is not taxable to the employee. An employee may not deduct a portion of the premium he cost shares with his/her employer. Typically a group benefit plan includes drug and dental coverage, lfe and long term disability . Where there may be cost sharing of the premium, an employer's contribution shoud always be to the health and dental portion. If any part of the premium for the long term disability is paid for by the employer, should the employee become disabled, then that benefit (usually up to 67% of the pre-disability earnings) would be taxable in the hands of the employee.
