Is US per diem rate tax-free in Canada?
My friend just got a temporal job offer in the US on a per diem contract. He is going to be away from home for one year. Is the per diem money also considered tax-free in Canada?
Per diem rules are very strict, both in US and especially in canada. Even in US per diem is often treated as taxable after the fact , since IRS sees thru these scams meant to avoid FICA tax.
It is doubtful that the US employer would satisfy all the CRA's criteria for tax-free per diem, thus it would need to be included in the employee's income.
Your friend is freee to do his own research of course.
