The demanding aspect of the U.S. income tax system is that taxable income starts with gross income (in all its forms) unless otherwise excepted. For executives—perquisites can abound. Are they taxable? Free lunch? Not necessarily. Country club membership? Not likely. Fly on the company plane for business then jet off to the islands for personal travel? There you have mixed personal and business travel, but the executive likely has imputed income. Personal travel on a company plane comes at a cost and imputed wages will result. Often, perquisites and other fringe benefits are taxed at fair market value, but for some, a special valuation method applies, reducing the amount treated as additional W-2 wages. When using company-provided aircraft, the special valuation comes in the form of Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL) rates that are published twice a year and apply for travel in the first or second half of the year, respectively. This reduces the imputation well-below charter value. The amounts imputed to the employee may even be reported in the proxy if the employer is a publicly traded company and the employee is a named executive officer (and a reporting threshold for all perquisites is met).
