    Answer: $0

    Explanation:

    An Employee-sponsored Health Insurance within this price range is deducted as an expense and not taxed. This applies to all health coverage that cost below $10,200 for individuals and $27,500 for families. Any amount above this attracts a 40% tax levied on the excess amount (over $10,200 or $27,500).

    This is Known as the Cadillac Tax. it is used to limit the amount of health coverage an employer has for employees, thereby reducing the amount an they can deduct as expense. This curbs employers from offering needlessly expensive coverage with the sole aim of reducing payable tax.
