IRS Releases FY 2027 Per Diem Rates for Employee Business Travel

The IRS has issued Notice 2026-60 setting new per diem rates for employee business travel effective October 1, 2026, according to HR Morning; high-low substantiation rates rise to $329 for high-cost localities and $230 for other CONUS locations, while transportation-industry meal rates and the incidental-expenses deduction hold steady. The update is a compliance housekeeping item for payroll and expense teams but involves no HR-tech vendor or platform development.
