Premium-Only Plans in Concord, NH
POP plans are limited scope Section 125 plans that allow employers to pay health insurance premiums without FICA taxation. Employees also save by paying their portion of health insurance premiums with pre-tax income.
TPS Group offers customized Premium Only Plans (POP) for small businesses in Concord, NH & surrounding states. If you’re a small business looking to save on taxes, a POP could be the perfect fit. Section 125 of the IRS code allows small businesses to make a simple change to the company’s payroll process that reduces employees’ taxable payroll. Every employees’ premium contribution through a premium only plan can be deducted from the overall taxable payroll amount.
What is a Premium Only Plan?
When combined with group health insurance, POPs pay a portion of employees’ insurance premiums on a pre-tax basis, which reduces their taxable income. As a result, a Premium Only plan reduces the income amount used to determine your payroll taxes as well. A POP offers a win-win situation for employers and employees alike.
Benefits of POPs in Concord, NH
The Premium Only Plan is the building block of the Section 125 Plan. It allows for certain employee-paid group insurance premiums to be paid with pre-tax dollars. A few benefits of POPs are:
- Lower Employer Taxes
- Lower Employee Taxes
- Easy set-up
- Happier Employees
- More Take-Home Pay
Who can sponsor a POP Plan?
Any employer can sponsor a Premium Only Plan. Regular corporations, partnerships, S corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), sole proprietors, profession corporations, and not-for-profits can all save money on payroll taxes by establishing a Premium Only Plan. While regulations prohibit a sole proprietor, partner, members of an LLC (in most cases), or individuals owning more than 2% of an S corporation from participating in the POP, they may still sponsor a plan and benefit from the savings on payroll taxes.

Reviews
We look forward to working with TPS Group next year
As another year ends, I want to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to you and TPS Group for assigning us Krista Blier. Krista provides exceptional customer service and has been a major asset to me and Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante, P.C. She is extremely knowledgeable and always accessible. Always on top of the RMD’s, giving me an explanation on form 5500-SF to present to Mr. Keefe & keeping us updated with any account changes as well as specifics. It is a relief knowing I have full faith in Krista and can turn a blind eye to our account. I cannot tell you how many vendors/brokers I have to stay on top of and babysit to make sure our deadlines are met and to perform their job duties. Krista is a pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with her and TPS Group next year.
