What are per diems / daily allowances?
Per diems (also called daily allowances or Verpflegungsmehraufwand in German) are fixed amounts that employers can reimburse to cover meals and incidental expenses during business trips.
The rates are defined by the German Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) and vary depending on the travel destination of the trip.
This document provides the official domestic and international allowance rates currently applicable in Germany.
👉 We already have this template created in Declaree, so if needed you can simply activate it in your Allowances settings.
