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, 2004, and before January 1, 2007. 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 2005-67, 2005-42 I.R.B. You can find the revenue procedure in the weekly Internal Revenue Bulletin (IRB) on
the Internet at
www.irs.gov/irb.

Publication 1542 revisions.
Publication 1542 is only available on the Internet at
www.irs.gov. Print copies can no longer be ordered.
During the year, as changes to the federal per diem rates (updates) are announced by the General Services Administration (GSA), we will incorporate
the changes into Publication 1542. A What's Hot article on the IRS website will alert you to which locations have updated rates. You will find
the new rates in Table 4 of the revised publication. To reach the What's Hot articles, go to
www.irs.gov/formspubs; click on
What's Hot in forms and publications; then click on the link provided under Changes to Our Current Tax Products.
We will also incorporate mid-year changes to the high-low rates into Publication 1542. You will be alerted to these changes by a What's Hot
article on the IRS website, and find the changes in Table 2 of the revised publication.
The annual changes, both federal per diem and high-low rates, will be incorporated into the publication as soon as possible after being announced
by GSA and the IRS. The annual issue of the publication should be available each year in mid- to late-October.

How To Use Per Diem
Rate Tables
This section contains information about the per diem rate substantiation methods available and the choice of rates you must make for the last 3
months of the year.
The Two Substantiation Methods
The tables in this publication reflect the high-low substantiation method and the regular federal per diem rate method.
High-low method.
High-low method:
Introduction
Per diem rates:
High-low method
High-cost localities
Standard rate for unlisted localities
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. Table 1 lists the localities that are eligible for $199 ($46 meals and incidental expenses (M&IE)) per diem, effective
October 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004, and $204 ($46 M&IE) per diem, effective January 1, 2005. For travel on or after January 1, 2005, all
other localities within CONUS are eligible for $129 ($36 M&IE) per diem under the high-low method.
Table 2 lists the localities that are eligible for $226 ($58 M&IE) per diem, effective October 1, 2005. For travel on or after October 1, 2005,
the per diem for all other localities increases to $141 ($45 M&IE).
Regular federal per diem rate method.
Regular federal method:
Introduction
Per diem rates:
Regular federal method
Standard rate for unlisted localities
Tables 3 and 4 give the regular federal per diem rates published 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, 2004; those in Table 4 are
effective October 1, 2005. The standard rate for all locations within CONUS not specifically listed in Table 3 is $91 ($60 for lodging and $31 for
M&IE); that for Table 4 is $99 ($60 for lodging and $39 for M&IE).
Transition Rules
Transition rules:
The transition period covers the last 3 months of the calendar year, from the time that new rates are effective (generally October 1) through
December 31. During this period, you generally may change to the new rates or finish out the year with the rates you had been using.
High-low method.
High-low method:
Transition rules
Transition rules:
High-low method
Per diem rates:
Transition rules
If you use the high-low substantiation method for an employee, when new rates become effective (generally October 1) you can either continue with
the rates you used for the first part of the year or change to the new rates. However, you must continue using the high-low method for that employee
for the rest of the calendar year (through December 31). Also, you must use the same rates for all employees reimbursed under the high-low method
during that calendar year.
Transition rules:
Example:
High-low method
For example, Employee A travels extensively during March and April of 2006, and you determine A's travel allowance (reimbursement) using the
high-low method (Table 2). Employee A does not travel again until November 2006. For A's November trip and any others during the remainder of 2006,
you may continue using the same set of rates (Table 2) or change to the new rates that generally will be effective in October. Assume that two of your
other employees, B and C, are also reimbursed under the high-low method—your choice of rates must also apply to them. For Employee A's travel on
or after January 1, 2007, you must use the rates in effect for 2007, but may either continue with the high-low method or choose the regular federal
per diem rate method. The choice of method stays in effect for the entire 2007 calendar year.
The new rates and localities for the high-low method are included each year in a revenue procedure that is generally published in mid- to
late-September. You can find the revenue procedure in the weekly Internal Revenue Bulletin (IRB) on the Internet at
www.irs.gov/irb.
Federal per diem rate method.
Regular federal method:
Transition rules
Transition rules:
Regular federal method
Per diem rates:
Transition rules
New CONUS per diem rates become effective on October 1 of each year, and remain in effect through September 30 of the following year. Employees
being reimbursed under the per diem rate method during the first 9 months of a year (January 1–September 30) must continue under the same method
through the end of that calendar year (December 31). However, for travel by these employees from October 1 through December 31, you can choose to
continue using the same per diem rates or use the new rates. Your choice applies to all employees reimbursed under the per diem rate method during
that calendar year. Just as for the high-low method, you must continue using the same method for an employee for the entire calendar year.
Transition rules:
Example:
Regular federal method
For example, Employees P and Q attend an industry conference in February 2006 and you reimburse their expenses using the per diem rate method
(Table 4). Employee P attends other conferences in July (reimbursed using Table 4) and December 2006, while Employee Q's only other travel occurs in
October 2006. When determining Q's travel allowance for the October travel, you must decide whether to continue with the old (Table 4) rates, or adopt
the new ones effective October 1, 2006. Your choice of rates will also apply to Employee P's December travel. Both employees must continue being
reimbursed under the per diem rate method for travel through December 31, 2006. You can choose a new method for either or both employees; this choice
will become effective on January 1, 2007.
The new federal CONUS per diem rates are published each year, generally early in September, on the Internet at
www.gsa.gov.
Per diem rates for localities listed in Table 4 may change at any time during the rest of 2005 or 2006. To be sure you have the most current rate,
check the IRS website (
www.irs.gov) for an updated Publication 1542, the other Internet
website listed earlier under Per diem rates on the Internet, or call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.

October 1, 2004 (Table 3)
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 2005 (Table 3) for expenses of all CONUS travel away from home that are paid or incurred during calendar year 2005. A taxpayer must
consistently use either these rates or the updated rates for the period of October 1, 2005, through December 31, 2005. See Transition Rules
under How To Use Per Diem Rate Tables for an example.
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.
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, 2005)
1
Note: The standard rate of $99 ($60 for lodging and $39 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 that will be effective October 1, 2006, taxpayers may continue to use the CONUS
rates in effect for the first 9 months of 2006 (Table 4) for expenses of all CONUS travel away from home that are paid or incurred during calendar
year 2006. A taxpayer must consistently use either these rates or the updated rates for the period of October 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006. See
Transition Rules under How To Use Per Diem Rate Tables for an example.
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.
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.

TTY/TDD information
You can get help with unresolved tax issues, order free publications and forms, ask tax questions, and get information from the IRS in several
ways. By selecting the method that is best for you, you will have quick and easy access to tax help.
Contacting your Taxpayer Advocate.
Taxpayer Advocate
If you have attempted to deal with an IRS problem unsuccessfully, you should contact your Taxpayer Advocate.
The Taxpayer Advocate independently represents your interests and concerns within the IRS by protecting your rights and resolving problems that
have not been fixed through normal channels. While Taxpayer Advocates cannot change the tax law or make a technical tax decision, they can clear up
problems that resulted from previous contacts and ensure that your case is given a complete and impartial review.
To contact your Taxpayer Advocate:
Call the Taxpayer Advocate toll free at
1-877-777-4778.
Call, write, or fax the Taxpayer Advocate office in your area.
Call 1-800-829-4059 if you are a TTY/TDD user.
Visit
www.irs.gov/advocate.
For more information, see Publication 1546, How To Get Help With Unresolved Tax Problems (now available in Chinese, Korean, Russian, and
Vietnamese, in addition to English and Spanish).

Evaluating the quality of our telephone services. To ensure that IRS representatives give accurate, courteous, and professional answers,
we use several methods to evaluate the quality of our telephone services. One method is for a second IRS representative to sometimes listen in on or
record telephone calls. Another is to ask some callers to complete a short survey at the end of the call.

employee can explain IRS letters, request adjustments to your tax account, or help you set up a payment plan. If you need to resolve a tax problem,

local Taxpayer Assistance Center where you can spread out your records and talk with an IRS representative face-to-face. No appointment is necessary,
