Hong Kong does not impose statutory per diem rates. Employers have flexibility in defining per diem policies, which may include:

  • Fixed per diem allowances based on estimated travel expenses;
  • Reimbursement of actual costs incurred, supported by receipts.

Some businesses refer to the Civil Service employee rates as a guideline.

For tax-related considerations, visit the Inland Revenue Department.
