My husband is in the midst of negotiating his job contract with his prospective employer. They are a new, small foreign company.

My question is, do we get taxed for the amount allocated for our housing?

Because in his current company, our package includes housing but we are not taxed for it. I have been getting mixed feedback from others that I have questioned. Some say that accomodations is included and taxed. Some say that they don't. While many have said that, officially accomodations are taxed, but most company have not declared.

Forgive me if what I am saying is rather confusing. Not an economist in any sort of way, I am trying to explain myself as clearly as I can.

Would be grateful for any response.

2.1  Assessable Income

            Income chargeable to the PIT is called "assessable income". The term covers income both in cash and in kind. Therefore, any benefits provided by an employer or other persons, such as a rent-free house or the amount of tax paid by the employer on behalf of the employee, are also treated as assessable income of the employee for the purpose of PIT.

Be creative in your contract...hmmmm ..........like a seperate contract for the housing component......talk to the employer
