Per Diem: Import and Settings

Importing Per Diems

At the start of every calendar year, the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) releases updated standard per diem rates. Expense automatically makes these available to all customers using the Per Diem module.

How to Import:

1. On the homepage, locate the blue box > Import Skatteverket’s per diems for the current year.
2. Click Countries > Select the countries relevant to your business (or select all to ensure full availability).
3. Click Import.

Expense updates these rates annually, but it’s essential to remember that manual import is required to apply them. Notifications will be sent to guide you through the process, ensuring smooth updates.

Per Diem Settings

1. Go to Administer > Per Diems to see the current per diem rates, based on Skatteverket’s guidelines.

2. If you need to manage single-day allowances, click This Year’s Per Diem from the list and complete the calculation module.

3. Review and adjust meal types to ensure they align with your company’s policies; otherwise, Skatteverket’s standard recommendations will apply.

4. If taxable components are necessary, click Taxable Components and enter the updated amount.

Each year, we provide updated domestic and international per diem rates. Your role is simply to import these and tailor them to your company’s internal standards as needed.
