With this new tax bill, relocation expenses will be deemed a taxable benefit to the employee even if the various costs are paid by the corporation.
Likewise, a person moving to a new job location who is paying for the move themselves will not be able to claim relocation expenses on their personal taxes.
These changes could have a large impact to the relocation industry as it will drive up costs as the corporation will probably "gross up" an employee's income to pay for the tax consequences of their relocation.
It will be interesting to see how this impacts the amount of employee relocations per year or if the corporation reduces other relocation benefits to reduce their costs.

When we looked into what Susila Dharma International does we were surprised by the scope of their efforts. I would urge everyone to take a look at their website as well www.susiladharma.org.
It surpirses me each time we are able to help out how much it does for our own staff, how they feel when they know they are making a difference. It's not only charity but good business!

When you get a chance to see volunteers in action it really reminds you how many great people there are in our community.
We were delighted to be able to donate the boxes needed and moving assistance during the holiday season.
Their work made such a difference to so many in need and I would urge you to look at their website to see if you could help as well.
