Investopedia explains 'Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association - VEBA'

Funds may be contributed to a VEBA either the employees or their employer. Employer contributions are often tax-deductible to the employer. VEBAs themselves are authorized by Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(9) as tax-exempt organizations as long as their earnings are only used for providing benefits. However, benefits paid out to employees are not necessarily tax exempt to the employee.
