Internal Revenue Code Section 280G denies an income tax deduction for, and Code Section 4999 imposes a nondeductible 20 percent excise tax on, certain compensatory payments (excess parachute payments) to “disqualified individuals” that are contingent upon a change in the ownership or control, or ownership of a substantial portion of the assets (a change in control), of a corporation. |
