Taxes - Food Expenses for Conference/Leadership..

[smilesarepriceless]

i know about the $39 a day per diem for when travelling out of town for a show, but i can't recall what happens when we are travelling for PC..for either conference..or NDA..

Do we get to do the per diem thing as well...Or do we get all food expenses, or 50% of it?

anyone know?

IIRC, you can take the per diem OR claim meal/lodging expenses (and there are limits on meals - 50%, I think). Mileage is handled separately.

I have always just considered it a meal write off no matter what. It just all goes in the same catagory.

Heather, you should ask a CPA. We are not tax professionals.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can definitely help answer your question. When traveling for a Pampered Chef show, conference, or NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement), you are eligible for the $39 per diem allowance. This means that you will receive $39 per day to cover your food expenses while you are away from home. This applies to all meals and snacks, and you do not need to submit receipts for reimbursement. However, if you choose to spend less than $39 on food, you will not receive the remaining amount as cash. I hope this helps clarify things for you. Happy travels!
