Exceptions exist for non-qualified benefits, which may not be deductible for the corporation and could be taxable for employees.

Deductibility of Healthcare Expenses Healthcare benefits provided to employees are generally fully deductible as a business expense for the C-Corporation. No tax implications for employees as long as the benefits qualify under IRS guidelines.
