Benefit information (Part I, line 1a)
The School provides livelihood supplements which include housing allowances to overseas hired faculty and administrators to supplement a portion of his or her living expenses in Taiwan. Seventeen persons, including twelve key employees and five highest compensated employees listed on Part II received the livelihood supplements during the year. The livelihood supplements are reported as taxable compensation. The Head of School's monthly dues of American Club in Taipei are reimbursed by the School. The School also reimburses the initiation fee for three administrators to join the American Club in Taipei. The Club dues and initiation fee are considered reasonable business expenses and thus not reported as taxable compensation. As a condition of employment, the Head of School is provided an apartment nearby campus. The apartment is available for school sponsored events and to conduct school business outside normal business hours. The housekeeping services and utilities allocable to business portion are reported as business expenses. The portion of the housekeeping expenses and utilities allocable to the Head of School's personal quarters is a taxable benefit. The value of the housing and business portion of housekeeping services and utilities is treated as non-taxable compensation under Section 119 (a) and is reported on Schedule J, Part II, and Column (D). As stipulated in the Head of School's employment contract, certain travel of a family member are borne by the School and appropriately reported as taxable compensation to the individual.
Listed persons compensation information (Part I, line 4)
The Head of School's deferred compensation in the amount of $240,000 was vested on June 30, 2020 and reported in Schedule J, Part II, and Column (C). This compensation is not taxable until actual payout.
