How do first and last days of travel work?
They pay 75% of the meals and incidentals rate: $51 at the standard $68. Lodging is paid for each night.
Which city has the highest per diem?
Park City, UT, at up to $499 a night in its peak season, with $92 for meals. Rates in resort areas change by season.
Does per diem include hotel taxes?
No. The lodging rate is the most the room can cost before taxes. Federal travelers are reimbursed hotel taxes separately.
What about Alaska, Hawaii and other countries?
Those rates are set by the Defense Department (Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. territories) and the State Department (other countries), not GSA.
Can businesses use these rates?
Yes. Many employers reimburse travel at the federal rates. Paid at or below them, the IRS treats the amount as proven, so the traveler records the trip’s dates, place and purpose instead of every meal receipt.
