Officials to meet with US
Airways
on island airport service issues
After Delta’s announcement that it will end flight service
on Hilton Head Island in November, top county officials are
planning a trip to US Airways headquarters to open a
dialogue with the island’s remaining commercial carrier.
County administrator Gary Kubic said he plans to take a
delegation to the company’s headquarters in Charlotte
sometime this fall to visit airline executives and address
issues or concerns the company may have about serving Hilton
Head. Kubic said the visit is an important step in
maintaining good relations with the airline. It will be the
first visit he’s made to the headquarters in his four years
as administrator, he said.

Imputed
Income Notice
Employees who have a domestic partner, domestic partner’s
children or a registered guest traveler listed in their
travel profile pay taxes on imputed income under Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) tax requirements. As a general rule,
each travel segment flown by one of the above will incur a
trip value equal to the going Interline Discount of 90
percent (ID90) travel rate, which ends up being equal to 10
percent of the lowest unrestricted fare.
For example:
Y6 Fare from PHL to PHX is $974
10 percent of that fare is $97.40
$97.40 is added as earned income on the employee’s pay stub.
This employee’s total tax rate including federal, state and
FICA is 35 percent. The next deduction from that paycheck
for that one segment of travel is $34.09 Typically, imputed
income is added to the employee’s paycheck sometime during
the month following the month in which the travel occurred.
For example, if an employee’s registered guest traveled in
July, then the imputed income would appear and be taxed on
an August paycheck. Due to an unanticipated system error,
the imputed income that would normally be included and taxed
on the August paycheck for July travel will not occur until
September. As we understand this may create a hardship, the
imputed income for all employees, with the exception of
InFlight employees, July and August travel will be split up
over two paychecks in the month of September. InFlight can
expect to see their imputed income as normal on their
September check. If you have questions about the imputed
income on your paycheck, please contact us at
payroll.west@usairways.com
, or 800-872-4780 option 3.
