Pre-Tax Premium Plan

You and your employees can take advantage of a valuable tax reduction through a Pre-Tax Premium plan. The Pre-Tax Premium portion of Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code allows for the payment of employer-sponsored insurance premiums on a pre-tax basis, resulting in savings to both the employer and their employees.

The allowable employer-sponsored insurance plans that can be paid for on a completely non-taxable basis are the portion of the premium being paid by the employee. Plans that qualify under Section 125 are:

 

Health	Disability	Group term life insurance for the employee (up to $50,000 worth of death benefit coverage)
Health Savings Account (HSA)	Accident
Dental	Cancer
Vision	Intensive Care

 

Here's how you save

Under Section 125, employee pre-tax premium contributions are not considered taxable income. As a result, your total taxable payroll is reduced, directly lowering your payroll-related taxes. Because your employees have reduced their taxable income, they pay less in federal, state, Social Security and Medicare taxes and they can actually increase their take-home pay.

Pre-Tax Premium Plan Services

You don’t need to worry about handling the administrative aspects of a Pre-Tax Premium plan, UnitedHealthcare will handle it for you and will provide you with the necessary legal documents and filings required under Section 125. The following services are included in our Pre-Tax Premium plan.

What's in it for Clients and Employees?

It’s easy to implement a Pre-Tax Premium plan and save money. How much you save depends on your payroll and how much your employees contribute toward their benefits.
