Update: Goldman Drops Plan to Delay Bonuses to U.K. Employees

January 15, 2013

[ by Howard Haykin ]

 

Goldman Sachs announced it would not delay payment of bonuses to its staff in Britain, a move that would have enabled investment bankers and other highly paid employees to pay lower tax rates on their earnings, but which drew enormous opposition from government officials and citizen groups. 

As noted in C-I's previous WHO'S News post, the top tax rate in Britain is scheduled to drop to 45% from 50% on 4/6/13.

On a separate note, Goldman Sachs plans to report 4th quarter earnings on Wednesday and usually announces the size of the annual bonuses to its staff shortly afterward.   [Dealbook, 1/15/13]
