Fringe benefits are non-cash benefits provided to persons who perform services to a business, and can include perks such as the use of a company car.

Investopedia explains 'IRS Publication 15-B - Employer's Tax Guide to Fringe Benefits'

Fringe benefits are considered taxable items by the IRS, but there are exceptions. Some cafeteria plan benefits, typically those involving health care for employees, are still considered to be pre-tax (and thus exempt from income tax withholding) provided that the receiving employee is not highly-compensated or a key person in the company.
