    Just curious, but why is it wrong to receive a low taxable hourly pay and a high housing stipend? Is it just because you would need to pay taxes on the extra or are there other ramifications? Has anyone done this with success? What are your experiences with this?

    You either have to trust your company, or find a tax specialist for the area where you are working, or the area where your tax home is
