As long as the value of the housing in included in your W-2 wages, and is subject to federal, state, social security and medicare tax withholding, then I have no issues. And I don't have the expertise to tell if they save more on their own taxes one way or the other. But the housing must be taxable to you one way or the other.
Going back to your original question:
- Can you get reimbursed for the man-cave? Yes, as long as it is included in your taxable income.
- For how long? As long as the employer wants to put up with the arrangement.
