The Business & Finance Policy Office announces updates to policy 8.2.1 Request Reimbursement for Domestic or International Travel and Business Meals. The policy is being updated to reflect a more accurate difference between domestic and international per diem.
Specific details include:
- Domestic Travel per diem is governed by GSA policy. Travelers (1) do not need to deduct for a complementary meal provided by a hotel/motel, (2) travel date must be selected for starting and ending day of travel allowing 75% of the per diem rate, and (3) a $5 allowance for incidentals is included in the amount.
- International Travel per diem is governed by the US Department of State. Travelers do not need to select travel days, all meals must be deducted if provided, and incidentals are a percentage of the rate.
