Hello-
I am a contractor and am paid a flat rate per diem for Meals and Incidentals that is below the set GSA rates.
(i.e. $35/day tax free regardless of location). Lodging is covered.
When deducting M&IE in place of actual meal and incidental expenses do I deduct the full GSA rates? The flat rate that I actually received? Or the difference between GSA and the flat rate that I received(the unreceived portion)?
