Consulting Agreements
If you retire but want to continue your association with the company, negotiate a consulting agreement. Being a consultant means you are a self-employed individual who is paid a fixed amount for consulting services over a set period (typically 2 to 5 years following a buyout).
From the company’s perspective, consulting fees it pays to you are fully tax deductible. There are no payroll taxes with respect to consulting fees.
