SIMPLE SEP?
Q:
Subject: question....
Dear kmk:
I overheard a conversation about a corporation or a savings plan the other day regarding a SEP vs. SIMPLE. What were they talking about? Thanks
A:
SEP = Simplified Employee Pension
SIMPLE = Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees
These are just two of the rapidly growing number of types of retirement plans that small companies and self employed individuals can set up for themselves and their workers.
The rules, limits and basic pros and cons of each type are varied.
You should work with your personal professional tax advisor, as well as an experienced employee benefits consultant, if you are considering offering retirement plans for your employees and/or setting one or more plans up for yourself.
As I constantly have to remind everyone, there is no such thing as "one size fits all" in tax and financial planning. Everything needs to be set up based on the unique circumstances and plans of those involved.
Good luck.
