Statutory Fringe Benefits
While Section 132 is not exhaustive with regard to statutory fringe benefit provisions within the Internal Revenue Code, it is the centerpiece. One of the most significant fringe benefits for employees, the qualified retirement plan, is governed under Section 401. Qualified Pension, Profit-Sharing, and Stock Bonus Plans. Internal Revenue Code Subchapter D--Deferred Compensation, Etc., Part I--Pension, Profit-Sharing, Stock Bonus Plans, Etc. more fully covers these deferred compensation plans. In addition, Section 74(c) excludes "employee achievement awards" for length of service or safety achievements, Section 79 excludes group term life insurance benefits provided by an employer, and Section 106(a) excludes accident and health insurance coverage provided by an employer.

Famous quotes containing the words fringe and/or benefits:
“Look carefully through all the claims pressing upon you in your complicated life, and decide once and for all what it is that is the one really important and overmastering duty in it, and should be the one dominating aim. Then remember that if you succeed in that, the others, so multifarious, are really no more than the fringe of the garment, and that you need not spend so much anxiety over them, provided that the one most important is faithfully attended to.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
