Explain fringe benefit tax?
Basically, it makes no difference how you get paid, cash, check, food, clothing, diamonds....anything of value. Fringe benefits, outside of certain limits (called "deminimus" for very minor things), and some very specified things, are considered salary. The value of that item is determined and taxed, just as if you had received it in cash. So, for example, if you employer provides you a car, or a house that isn't absolutely part of the job and you use it for your own use, it is a taxable fringe benefit. Generally, health insurance, life insurance under 50K, and a few others are NOT taxable, and almost everything else is.
