Lyon posted:In a similar vein, what is everyone else's food/alcohol policy? When I travel abroad, my company adheres to a standard set by the Norwegian government. This standard sets an amount that varies by country and some times by city, and governs what a state employee will be compensated, tax free, for meals each day of travel. Private companies can choose to follow this standard and many do. The amounts can vary a great deal but are fairly generous. Examples are NOK 720 (USD 125) for the UK, NOK 950 (USD 195) for Sweden and NOK 350 (USD 60) for Kosovo. This is meant to cover any living expenses apart from boarding and if you are given a meal you have to deduct 10% for breakfast, 40% for lunch and 50% for dinner. This makes salads brought in by a well meaning host hilariously expensive. Anyway, as this compensation is paid regardless of how much you eat, no receipts have to be collected, and with the compensation being this generous, you can make a fair bit of extra money from this, especially if you eat cheaply.
