Companies can give extra perks to employees, like health insurance, retirement plans, stock options, and wellness programs, as part of their overall compensation. These benefits make employees happy and attract top talent, but they also have tax consequences.
In many place the value of certain benefits is seen as taxable income for employees. For instance, health insurance premiums paid by the employer are usually tax-free for the employee. But some perks like company cars or housing allowances, might be taxed.
Employers usually have to tell how much the benefits are worth, and employees might need to add this to their taxable income when doing their taxes. The tax rules for benefits can be different, so it's important for both employers and employees to know what the local tax laws say.
