Calculation of Meal Per Diems
The meal per diem is a fixed amount defined by law for domestic and foreign trips regardless of the trip length or destination country. The meal per diem is currently UAH 30 for domestic trips and USD 50 for foreign trips, as defined by law.
The employees receive the whole meal per diem only if they did not receive any meals free of charge. If they received any meals free of charge, the system deducts a certain amount from the whole meal per diem and the employees receive a reduced meal per diem for given days of the trip. The
amounts the system deducts from the whole meal per diem are defined by law and are described in section Deductions
below.
When there are both domestic and foreign parts in a single trip, for settlement purposes, all the trip days are considered as foreign-trip days.
