Your example is not completely possible...

My employees get 50 cents on the dollar that they defer into their retirement account up to a 4% cap of their payroll.

Additionally our dealership makes annual contributions to all employees based on our profitability...

U.S. tax law requires that the funding cannot be skewed to just a few high paid employees.


Sorry, my wording was poor. What I was trying to say was that the rules exist in order that my sweatshop example would not be possible.

And that matching employee contributions and/or unilateral employer contributions such as yours & Intel's tend to spread the benefits around enough so that those plans pass the test.

When I worked for the guy who wanted all compensation to be based on merit (no employer match) about $2000 of my 401(k) contributions were kicked back in January, which screwed up my tax planning. But he was highly successful in growing the business.
