Travel expenses in United States

In the United States, companies can decide their own reimbursement amounts for travel expenses.

The US tax administration (IRS) also determines the compensation amounts annually, which also act as the maximum amount for tax-free compensation. However, the most common way to compensate the expenses is reimbursement based on actual expenses.

Bezala works in the US for both expense reimbursements and mileage rates (IRS).

The most common way to compensate the expenses incurred during business trips is to compensate them according to the actual expenses with expense reimbursements.

However, companies may choose to pay per diems according to amounts predetermined by either the federal government (General Services Administration - GSA) or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Daily allowance amounts vary by county and season.

In Bezala, you cannot apply for per diems defined by the GSA or the IRS.
