I'd suggest you draw up a contract of employment where you state clearly what is included in his package and define what is not as well as define terms of termination, notice periods, taxation responsibilities, liability insurance etc etc.

I don't think there are clear guidelines anywhere on what may be included, but overall I'd suggest this job is not too different in spec to any other 'accomodated' type job (ie the employer provides full board and lodgings) so you need to clarify in detail what he gets and what he pays for.

It would certainly be insulting if he took a role expecting you to provide this to only to learn after engagement that you expected him to pay for that himself!

Good luck
JOHN
