Introduction

This publication is for employers who pay a per diem allowance to employees for business travel away from home within the continental United States (CONUS), on or after October 1, 2001, and before January 1, 2004. It gives the maximum per diem rate you can use without treating part of the per diem allowance as wages for tax purposes. For a detailed discussion on the tax treatment of a per diem allowance, see chapter 13 of Publication 535, Business Expenses, or Revenue Procedure 2002–63, 2002–41 I.R.B. 691.

High-low method.

The first two tables in this publication list the localities that are treated under the high-low substantiation method as high-cost localities for all or part of the year as shown in column 4. Table 1 lists the localities that are eligible for $204 ($42 meals and incidental expenses (M&IE)) per diem, effective October 1, 2001. Table 2 lists the localities that are eligible for $204 ($45 M&IE) per diem, effective October 1, 2002. All other localities within CONUS are eligible for $125 per diem under the high-low method. The M&IE allowance is $34 for travel on or after October 1, 2001; the allowance is $35 for travel on or after October 1, 2002.

Regular federal per diem rate method.

Tables 3 and 4 give the regular federal per diem rates published in the Federal Register by the General Services Administration (GSA). Both tables include the separate rate for meals and incidental expenses (M&IE) for each locality. The rates listed in Table 3 are effective October 1, 2001; those in Table 4 are effective October 1, 2002. The standard rate for all locations within CONUS not specifically listed in Tables 3 and 4 is $85 ($55 for lodging and $30 for M&IE). A federal agency can ask GSA to review the per diem rate in a particular locality. The review process is described in footnote 5 of Tables 3 and 4.

Transition rules.

Rules are in effect that allow you to continue using the method and rate(s) you used for the first 9 months of 2002, rather than using the updated GSA rate(s), for expenses of all CONUS travel away from home that are paid or incurred during calendar year 2002. For more specific information, see footnote 1 of the table you are using.

Caution

The lodging rates for 46 cities listed in this publication may change later in 2003. To be sure you have the most current rate, check the Internet (see Per diem rates on the Internet, later) or call the IRS at 1–800–829–1040.

Travel outside CONUS.

The federal per diem rates for localities outside CONUS, including Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, U.S. possessions, and all foreign localities, are published monthly. You can buy the per diem supplement, Maximum Travel Per Diem Allowances for Foreign Areas, from the U.S. Government Printing Office. Call (866) 512–1800 (toll-free), fax (202) 512–2250, write to the Superintendent of Documents, P.O. Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250–7954, or visit the GPO web site at http://bookstore.gpo.gov.

1Transition rule. In lieu of the updated GSA rates in Table 4, taxpayers may continue to use the CONUS rates in effect for the first 9 months of 2002 (Table 3) for expenses of all CONUS travel away from home that are paid or incurred during calendar year 2002. A taxpayer must consistently use either these rates or the updated rates for the period of October 1, 2002, through December 31, 2002.

2Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as “all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries.”

3Per diem localities with county definitions shall include “all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately).”

4When a military installation or Government-related facility (whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the two rates which apply to the cities and/or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality. 		5Federal agencies may submit a request to GSA for review of the costs covered by per diem in a particular city or area where the standard CONUS rate applies when travel to that location is repetitive or on a continuing basis and travelers' experiences indicate that the prescribed rate is inadequate. Other per diem localities listed in this appendix will be reviewed on an annual basis by GSA to determine whether rates are adequate. Requests for per diem rate adjustments shall be submitted by the agency headquarters office to the General Services Administration, Office of Governmentwide Policy, Attn: Travel Management Policy Division (MTT), Washington, D.C. 20405. Agencies should submit their request to GSA no later than 2/27 for the city to be included in the annual review. Agencies should designate an individual responsible for reviewing, coordinating, and submitting to GSA any requests from bureaus or subagencies. Requests for rate adjustments shall include a city designation, a description of the surrounding location involved (county or other defined area), and a recommended rate supported by a statement explaining the circumstances that cause the existing rate to be inadequate. The request also must contain an estimate of the annual number of trips to the location, the average duration of such trips, and the primary purpose of travel to the location.

Note: Recognizing that all locations are not incorporated cities, the term “city limits” has been used as a general phrase to denote the commonly recognized local boundaries of the location cited.

Table 4. Maximum Federal Per Diem Rates (Effective October 1, 2002 – September 30, 2003) 1

Note: The standard rate of $85 ($55 for lodging and $30 for M&IE) applies to all locations within the continental United States (CONUS) not specifically listed below or encompassed by the boundary definition of a listed point. However, the standard CONUS rate applies to all locations within CONUS, including those defined below, for certain relocation allowances. (See parts 302–2, 302–4, and 302–5 of 41 CFR.)

1Transition rule. In lieu of the updated GSA rates in Table 4, taxpayers may continue to use the CONUS rates in effect for the first 9 months of 2002 (Table 3) for expenses of all CONUS travel away from home that are paid or incurred during calendar year 2002. A taxpayer must consistently use either these rates or the updated rates for the period of October 1, 2002, through December 31, 2002.

2Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as “all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries.”

3Per diem localities with county definitions shall include “all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately).”

4When a military installation or Government-related facility (whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the two rates which apply to the cities and/or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality. 		5Federal agencies may submit a request to GSA for review of the costs covered by per diem in a particular city or area where the standard CONUS rate applies when travel to that location is repetitive or on a continuing basis and travelers' experiences indicate that the prescribed rate is inadequate. Other per diem localities listed in this appendix will be reviewed on an annual basis by GSA to determine whether rates are adequate. Requests for per diem rate adjustments shall be submitted by the agency headquarters office to the General Services Administration, Office of Governmentwide Policy, Attn: Travel Management Policy Division (MTT), Washington, D.C. 20405. Agencies should submit their request to GSA no later than 2/27 for the city to be included in the annual review. Agencies should designate an individual responsible for reviewing, coordinating, and submitting to GSA any requests from bureaus or subagencies. Requests for rate adjustments shall include a city designation, a description of the surrounding location involved (county or other defined area), and a recommended rate supported by a statement explaining the circumstances that cause the existing rate to be inadequate. The request also must contain an estimate of the annual number of trips to the location, the average duration of such trips, and the primary purpose of travel to the location.

Note: Recognizing that all locations are not incorporated cities, the term “city limits” has been used as a general phrase to denote the commonly recognized local boundaries of the location cited.
