Employees must pay taxes on fringe benefits. Fringe benefits include personal use of a company vehicle, life insurance premiums over $50,000, or any non-cash benefits. Some employers record fringe benefits on each payroll, while others do so as a lump sum at year-end

 NOTE: Perform the steps for processing fringe benefits before closing December for Payroll.
