Companies are providing more fringe benefits to employers more than ever before, thus reduces company cost but raises employee morale. Because of this the IRS has more to say on what Fringe Benefits are taxable and what are not. The IRS for non-taxable fringe benefits puts a lot of regulation around how the fringe benefit is given and when that also determines if a thought non-taxable item may end up being taxable.
