Which is better SEP or Simple IRA for small business ? 2006/08/22 12:19 Karma: 0  
SEP contribution levels are much higher than the Simple IRA, so whether it is a better retirement plan to offer to employees of a small business.

Consider a scenario :

1. Setup the SEP and reduce the pay of the employees so that their total contribution will be same. i.e. say john works for x company agreed for a salary of 100K pa. Now x company and john agreed on the retirement plan and company will contribute 40k to SEP plan and pay john 60K as wages.

Questions :
1. Does X company benefit in taxes in any way ?
2. John does not have to pay SS and Medical taxes, what about the X company ?
