When the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010, it included a 40% excise tax on high-cost employer health plans scheduled to go into effect in 2018. Although implementation is delayed until 2020, this Cadillac Tax cannot be forgotten because any plan changes or contribution philosophy changes need to be accounted for in planning for days/months/years ahead.
The fact is the responsibility for calculating the tax falls squarely on the employer. The employer must now determine the share that is attributable to each coverage provider, if there is more than one. After calculating the tax and determining each coverage provider’s share, the employer must report the amount due to each coverage provider and to the Department of Treasury in a manner that will be determined by future regulatory guidance
