JJStephens Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Client does a fair amount of business travel and occasionally stays with family or friends. He has a CPA friend who told him that for her clients she allows 1/2 the standard per diem rate when her clients travel but stay with family/friends. Is there some special rule I don't know about that allows for that treatment? I thought you either qualify or you don't. Quote
Abby Normal Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 No special rule that I know of. The incidentals part of per diem is only $5 and that's for tips to maids, porters, etc. If your client is not buying any meals, because friends are feeding him, then he shouldn't be claiming per diem at all.http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/101518 Quote
