Need to travel for a client but I'm staying at a relatives house because it's closer to the office than any hotel (hello suburbia). Is there any company policy on this?

Pretty sure it is $50/day

Policy for what?

You can do that , but you won't be reimbursed for anything other than actual expenses. Mileage is the only thing you can get away with that doesn't require receipts. R

My firm isn't big 4 and they let us take our family members out for one big dinner.

EY 2 is right. There is a $50 reimbursement. I don't know if it's daily or what though. It's in the EY policy

Wtf!

Will you get mileage too? How far is your home office from the client

Client is about 40 miles from my home office. I am renting a car though (based out of NYC) so all of that is covered 🙏🏼

Damn that's crazy they cover all of that for a client only 40 miles away. We don't get a hotel for that 😩

53 miles each way in socal and no hotel 😦

You get a hotel for that? I would double check that since it doesn't seem likely that it would be covered under EY policy.

Hii sharks 🦈🦈🦈🦈

Can anyone of you please help in calculating how much will be my income tax per month(I am availing the Old tax regime)? Different IT calculators show different figures, not sure which is correct :(

And as for the interest amount in the Savings Account and Fixed Deposits, do both fall under "Income from Interest"? Or under "Other Income"? Or does Interest amount in Savings account fall under "Interest from Deposits - 80TTA"?

The figures are given in the screenshot 👇🏻
