What is the maximum allowance per day I can pay to my employees for incidental business expense?

Question

Instead of employees submitting expense report, I want to give them an allowance per day that they can use to spend on M&IE( Meals and Incidental Expenses). How much maximum I can pay without IRS treating this allowance as taxable in the hands of the employee?

Answer 1

You can pay them the amount the federal government pays to employees who are on the road on official business.
