We remind you that the amount of daily expenses of employees, which are not subject to personal income tax, is established by paragraphs 170.9.1 TCU. So:

  • for business trips abroad – not more than 80 euros for each calendar day of such a business trip at the official hryvnia to euro exchange rate established by the NBU, calculated for each such day (clause 170.9.1 of the TCU).

We remind you that from January 1, 2022, the amount of travel expenses (per diem) of civil servants and other persons sent on business trips by enterprises and institutions that are fully or partially financed from budget funds is established in Appendix 1 to Resolution of the CMU No. 98 as follows size:

  • UAH 300 – in case of business trips in Ukraine;
  • in specific amounts (expressed in US dollars) depending on the country of the business trip – for foreign business trips.
