Federal per diem rates for meals and incidental expenses are $51, $54, $59, $64, $69 and $74 dependent on the locality. A detailed listing of all localities in the continental United States and certain localities in Alaska and Hawaii is attached in the revised Appendix A.
A link to per diem rates for travel in foreign countries can be found on a U.S. Department of State website at http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp. A link to per diem rates for additional localities in Alaska and Hawaii can be found at http://aoprals.state.gov/content.asp?content_id=296&menu_id=81.
The excess of collective bargaining per diem meals and/or incidental expenses exceeding the applicable maximum per diem rate is reportable as wages to the Internal Revenue Service.
