Import per diem rates from Skatteverket

📥 Import this year's per diem rates

Every year, Expense adds Skatteverket's new rates for domestic and foreign per diem. The import is not automatic: an administrator needs to start it.

Go to the start page.
Click the blue box Import Skatteverket's per diems for the current year.
Select the countries that are relevant for you, or Select all.
Click Import.

✅ The per diem rates are now updated for the new year.

👉 The blue box shows on the start page when new values are available. Only administrators see it.

💡 The mileage allowance is included in the same import. Read more in Manage vehicles and mileage allowance.

⚙️ Adapt the settings after the import

Go to Administrate > Per Diems. There you find a list of all imported years, for example Per diem 2026 and Per diem 2025. Open the year you want to see or change to see the amounts and adapt the rules to your company's policy.

Setting	What you can do
One-day trip	Open this year's per diem in the list, for example Per diem 2026, and fill in the values in the calculation module.
Meal types	Adjust Skatteverket's standard values to your internal rules.
Taxable parts	Go to Taxable components, click New amount and fill in the value. The amount is included when the per diem is calculated.

⚠️ Check that the rules match your travel policy before users start registering travel expense reports.

📅 When should you import?

At every turn of the year, when new values are available.
When you start using Expense.
When your business needs change, for example if you start traveling to new countries.

💡 Test with a travel expense report after the import to check that the calculation is correct.
