Changed rates in connection with official travel
If you are planning to travel in connection with your work, please be aware that the amount of allowances for additional expenses on business trips in Denmark and abroad was changed as of 1 January 2016.
The changes apply to rates for:
- transport allowance – expenses in connection with travel by private car or similar means of transport.
- hotel allowance
- hourly and daily allowances – expenses for meals, daily necessities, transportation at the final destination and so on.
- percentage allowance – expenses for meals, daily necessities, transportation at the final destination and so on.
- undocumented night work allowance - ‘Thank you for your trouble’ in connection with private accommodation.
The new rates for 2016 can be found on the Agency for the Modernisation of Public Administration website, but are not translated to English. If you need specific information about a rate in English, you can contact Travel Expense Accounts under AU Finance by email: rejser@au.dk
Please note that the amount available for hotel bookings for overnight stays in Denmark will be determined on the basis of the Central Procurement Programme hotel agreement, which will be adjusted as of 15 February 15 2016. This means that the specified rate of DKK 1,008.00 will come into effect as of 15 February 2016. Until then the rate for 2015 will apply.
