Split Dollar
Arrangements Entered Into Before Final Regulations
Of the arrangements not subject to the final split-dollar regulations (i.e., those entered into on or before September 17, 2003) the safe harbors of Notice 2002-8 regarding taxation of "equity" are applicable only to arrangements entered into before January 28, 2002. If such a pre-January 28, 2002 arrangement is materially modified (in a manner other than merely exercising a safe harbor):
- After January 28, 2002, but on or before September 17, 2003, then the availability of safe harbor treatment is uncertain, but the final split-dollar regulations do not govern the arrangement;
- After September 17, 2003, then safe harbor treatment is unavailable, and the final split-dollar regulations govern the arrangement.
