Bloody hell the IRS is a soft touch :-) In the UK they are very strict on benefits in kind.

At one point BT decided that to do away with loads of messy individual kitchens and all the resulting arguments between employee arguments over who had not paid this months tea money. They would provide free tea and coffee in the new big work-style buildings.

HMRC ruled that this was a taxable benefit and so that was that (I have actually seen the letter from HMRC to Group HR)
