Saudi Arabia does not impose government-mandated per diem rates. Employers have flexibility in structuring per diem policies, which may include:

  • Fixed per diem allowances reflecting estimated travel costs;
  • Reimbursement of actual expenses incurred, with receipts as proof.

For more information on the taxability of these reimbursements, refer to the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA).
