<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In appreciation of your tremendous work, we would like to extend an offer for complimentary game tickets for you and one additional guest or the number of your immediate family members (<i>i.e., spouse and children,
whether living at home or not</i>). </span><span style="color:#C00000">All meals, lodging and transportation costs are at your own expense.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Due to IRS regulations, complimentary tickets are considered a <u>taxable benefit</u>, and payroll taxes will be withheld. Complimentary tickets are subject to the same withholding rules as regular compensation.
The percentage you are taxed will be based on your individual tax bracket. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">

<p class="MsoNormal">The value of a ticket to this year’s game is $123.75. For example, if an individual accepts this offer and receives four tickets at $123.75 (<i>i.e., $495.00 total</i>), they will have approximately $124 - $174 (25-35%) withheld from their
paycheck. The amount withheld from your paycheck depends on your tax bracket and will be withheld at a later payroll date (e.g., March payroll or April payroll…once all tickets can be reconciled by the bowl game, conference office, and BU ATH Business Office).<o:p></o:p></p>
