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.
