Qualified Retirement Plan

A qualified retirement plan meets the requirements set by tax authorities (like IRS or HMRC) for favourable tax treatment. Examples include 401(k) and pension plans. Contributions may be tax-deductible, and earnings grow tax-deferred. These plans must follow specific rules on participation, vesting, and distributions.
