Taxes Q & A- Where can I find the per diem rates

Where can I find the per diem rates for foreign countries?

The federal per diem rates for foreign locations (outside the continental United States, abbreviated as OCONUS, and including the per diem rates for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Northern Marina Islands, U.S. possessions, and all foreign locates) are published monthly in the Maximum Travel Per Diem Allowances for Foreign Areas. Your employer may have these rates available, or you can purchase the publication from the:

Superintendent of Documents

U.S. Government Printing Office

P.O. Box 371954

Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954

You can also access the federal per diem rates for CONUS localities on the Internet at CONUS. This website also provides a link to rates for OCONUS localities.
