Tax Equalization

For calendar years 2016 and 2017, your Company compensation will be subject to the Company’s Tax Equalization policy. The philosophy of Tax Equalization is that you pay approximately the same amount of tax you would have paid had you remained in Singapore. This can include federal, state, provincial, township and social program taxes but does not include real estate property taxes. Any incremental tax liability in the United States for earnings and benefits related to your employment with the Company arising during 2016 and 2017 will be paid by the Company. You will be solely responsible for all U.S. and other incremental taxes related to personal assets and earnings.

The Company, through EY, provides and directly pays for tax consultation and tax preparation services. Singapore and United States tax returns will be prepared by EY at the expense of the Company. You are expected to cooperate with EY in furnishing timely, complete and accurate information necessary to prepare the tax returns. In addition, you are required to sign all documents necessary to implement the tax payment and equalization process (e.g., loan agreement, tax procedures memo). Should you choose to use your own tax service provider; the Company will NOT reimburse you for the fees of your own tax service provider.

If you exercise and/or sell equity, sell any real estate or experience any change in personal income, you are advised to notify EY within 30 days in advance, so that appropriate tax planning can be arranged. After 2017, you are solely responsible for your taxes without any tax equalization assistance from the Company. The one exception is any earned AIP payout for fiscal 2017 that is paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 will also be tax equalized.

Please contact Scott White, VP of Total Rewards, if you have questions about our incentive programs, benefits, or tax equalization policy.
