A “Fringe benefit” refers to any benefit provided or deemed to be provided by reason of an employment or office. Article 4(1)(b) of the Income Tax Act taxes gains or profits arising from any employment or office, including the value of any benefit provided by reason of any employment or office. Although fringe benefits have the nature of normal income they have certain characteristics which warrant special regulation. The Fringe Benefits Rules (SL 123.55) were prescribed in order to ensure that no doubts are raised as to the taxation of fringe benefits, establish in which circumstances and to what extent are fringe benefits subject to tax, and determine their value. The Commissioner for Tax & Customs has published a guide which explains the provisions contained in the Rules.
