Taxes The value of the President’s Club package* will be calculated and provided to your Finance team. Countries where the reward is considered a benefit in kind, the value will be reported as income. FedEx estimates the amount of tax associated with this increase to income and pays the estimated taxes on your behalf. The value of the package and the taxes FedEx pays will be reflected on your year-end income statements. Finance will only gross up the initial value of the benefit once. If the employee’s income fits a higher tax bracket as a result of the increased income, any additional tax is borne by the employee.
