The rules are many and varied. No one audio conference could possibly explain all of them. Limits and other rules are updated every year. However, basic rules of thumb can be applied to travel pay, similar to rules of thumb for all fringe benefits. In addition to the basic rules of thumb, generalizations can be made as to the following;
- Which are taxable to the worker, and which can be excluded as legitimate business expenses?
- What limits apply to which types of travel pay?
- What are the rules for accounting and documentation?
- What about business income taxes and deductibility?
- What is the delineation between short-term and long-term travel?
- What are the best practices for employers to follow?
- What is new for 2023?
There are many areas that require extensive discussion on the details. So Speaker has spent many hours organizing, summarizing, and presenting these details relevant to most businesses. The topics which are discussed in detail include:
- The FLSA – what are the oldest rules concerning travel-related expenses and what makes compensable time?
- Per Diems – what are they and when SHOULD employers use them? Where do you find applicable per diem rates given the wide range of expense costs throughout the US and its territories?
- Meals and Entertainment – When must they be taxed to the worker?
- Transportation expenses: What is considered a deductible commute expense? What is the difference in the valuation of employee use of a company car vs business use of an employee car?
As is her habit, Speaker will also take questions after the presentation, and any other time you need her (via email.) So join this highly informative, updated webinar.
Topic Background
Most employers send workers out to travel for a variety of reasons. But almost every worker commutes to the office. Perhaps they travel from home on dispatch. Businesses can ask workers to travel from the office during the day for sales/service calls, errands, shopping, etc. Longer-term travel includes conferences, long-distance sales calls, setting up stores, entertaining prospective clients, and many other purposes.
