2 Tax Reform Impact Meals & Entertainment/Fringe Benefits Broad impacts Default treatment under old law was generally a range from 100% to 50% deductible Range is now 100% deductible to 100% non-deductible Legacy M&E disallowance M-3 typically increases in range of 20% to 70% Enhanced information needed to compute correct M-3 Calculating correct M-3 is more complicated for many taxpayers Additional disallowance applicable to qualified transportation fringe Includes amounts related to parking, transit passes, commuter and vanpool Taxpayers need to consider fringes provided or reimbursed by employer; or part of a pre-tax spending plan These amounts have not historically been tax sensitized in taxpayers financial records. Effective for expenses paid or incurred after Fiscal year end: still effective Additional limitations are scheduled to become effective after Copyright 2018 Deloitte Development LLC.

4 Cafeterias Historical issues Maybe income inclusion to employees but generally no limitation to deduction of employer Tax reform Income inclusion or 50% limitation Full deduction only if income inclusion Income inclusion side has not changed Effective for expenses paid or incurred after After : no deduction Calculate income inclusion or 50% limitation for 2018 Test in regulations satisfied by employees paying enough for food, no income inclusion issue Result is 50% limitation to employer based on cafeteria costs or safe-harbor method in regulations Prospective changes for tax enhancement Employment tax exposure analysis Analysis of amount subject to 50% limitation Copyright 2018 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 4
5 Commuting Provided to Employees Overtime transportation Old law: income inclusion when not infrequent but full deduction whether income inclusion or not (no mechanism to disallow deduction to employer) Tax reform Income inclusion issue when not infrequent Non-deductible if not included in income Effective for expenses paid or incurred after Safety exception under IRC 132 Regs is not realistic Employment tax exposure mitigation with correct data Other commuter benefits Commuter passes» Employer subsidy: income inclusion» Employee pre-tax dollars: no deduction to employer Parking» Employer subsidy: income inclusion» Employee pre-tax dollars: no deduction to employer» For onsite parking structure/surface parking: determination of cost related to providing parking fringe in process Shuttle buses/vans» No deduction Copyright 2018 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 5
6 Transportation Fringe Benefits Pre-Tax Transportation Old Law: Employer could deduct pre-tax transportation benefit not subject to tax by employee (e.g. up to $260/month for parking and mass transit). New Law: Employer cannot deduct pre-tax transportation benefit not subject to tax by employee. Notes: Any benefits that are imputed into income of the employee are still deductible by the employer. Certain states may mandate providing the pre-tax transportation benefits to its employees. Parking Included in Facility Owned or Leased by Employer Old Law: Employer costs associated with providing parking to employees in a facility owned or leased by employer were deductible to employer. New Law: These costs may be considered employer provided commuting and therefore non-deductible to employer. Copyright 2018 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 6
7 Fringe Recreation/Entertainment On-site athletic facilities Subject to disallowance if primarily available for highly compensated employees If available to all employees, then fully deductible under IRC Section 274(e)(4) Club dues Hunting, fishing facilities» Still no deduction on facility» Deduction for food, beverages, etc. are gone Membership and club dues related to business, pleasure, recreation or social purposes are not deductible This could also include reimbursed employee costs for gyms and other recreation clubs that are not compensation to employee. Copyright 2018 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 7
8 Other Fringe Benefits Moving Expenses and Bicycle Commuting Expenses Old Law: Employer could exclude from income employer-paid or reimbursed moving expenses for employees, as well as bicycle commuting expenses. New Law: US tax reform has repealed the exclusion from employee income for employer-paid or reimbursed moving expenses for employees (with an exception for members of the armed forces on active duty), as well as the exclusion for bicycle commuting expenses. Beginning January 1, 2018, employers should include in income relocation costs paid on behalf of employees as well as any reimbursement for bicycle commuting expenses.

9 Next Steps under Tax Reform Impact on 2018 Estimates Historically tax limited accounts: some expenses now subject to 100% nondeductibility rather than 50% non-deductibility Historically fully deducted accounts: likely now partially tax limited Cafeteria meals see below Evaluation of Company s fringe benefits related to transportation Computing M-3 for return including part of 2018 under new law Historically tax limited accounts: similar issue as estimates Historically fully deducted accounts: similar issue as estimates Items not previously considered will need to be assessed relating to the following: o Cafeteria operations o Qualified parking o Qualified transit passes o Qualified commuting expenses Copyright 2018 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. 9
10 Next Steps under Tax Reform (continued) Computing M-3 or income inclusion from cafeteria meals Introduction of 50% limitation creates tax return calculation out of what was under old law an income inclusion issue Improved information needed from cafeteria to avoid overstating M-3 or income inclusion Prospectively tax sensitizing expense reporting, account structure, vendor payment process Mapping from expense reporting & accounts payable to GL needs to be updated Expense reporting needs to differentiate 50% & 100% non-deductible client meals or default to 100% ND Information will be necessary for cafeteria and food services providers in detail and breakouts not historically required Determination of expenses associated with qualified transportation fringe will need to be developed. Additional complexities will exist when transportation fringe is provided through owned property (parking garage) versus amounts paid to service providers. Statistical sampling to calculate proper disallowance Proper tax classification of approximately 150 samples Extrapolation of results to entire population of expenses Copyright 2018 Deloitte Development LLC.
