Certain "qualified" retirement plans allow the employees to determine the amounts that they will contribute each year and the manner in which their contributions will be invested. Qualified plans allow the employer's contributions to be taken as a current expense deduction, while entitling the employee to pay no tax until benefits are distributed.
