About the 2023 travel allowance

The 2023 flat-rate travel allowance changed from 2022 to 2023 with regard to benefits in kind at the turn of the year, as the legislator is linking the amounts to current price developments. An increase in the 2023 travel expense allowance for the 2023 travel expense report was implemented by the BMF for trips abroad at the end of 2022. 

The 2023 travel allowance - business trips within Germany

The values for the meals and accommodation allowance remained unchanged in 2023 compared to the 2022 travel allowance:
- EUR 14 per day on the day of arrival and departure
- EUR 14 for more than 8 hours
- EUR 28 from 24 hours

The 2023 travel allowance - business trips abroad

New values published on January 1, 2023 by the Federal Ministry of Finance in the "Tax treatment of travel expenses and travel expense reimbursements for business and work-related trips abroad from January 1, 2023" apply. 

Please note: We use third-party tools for selected events. Personal data of the participant will be passed on to them for the implementation of the training offer. You can find more information in our privacy policy.
