Have a Per Diem Question?

The General Services Administration (GSA) establishes travel policy (includes per diem) only for Federal employees (excluding Federal contractors) on official travel away from their local duty station or areas defined by their agency, and cannot speak for any other state, city, or agency's travel policy.

Please visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website for further information on per diem, Privately Owned Mileage reimbursement rate, rental car policies, the High-Low method including tax withholdings for the non-Federal sector.

The Defense Department website establishes all per diem rates for Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. possessions, including Puerto Rico.

The State Department website establishes all foreign per diem rates.

For all domestic Federal Per Diem rate questions, please visit the Federal Travel Regulation Discussion website.
