Deferred Profit-sharing
Definition of "Deferred profit-sharing"
Portion of company profits allocated by an employer, in good years, to an employee's trust. Contributions on behalf of each employee are expressed as a percentage of salary with 5% being common practice.

These contributions are not currently taxable to the employee; benefits are taxed at the time of distribution.
