JJStephens Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
