Per Diem help

I'm fairly sure that when you file 2018 taxed you can't take the $63 a day deduction anymore. The new tax plan killed that. You can pick up a spreadsheet with comparisons between the two pay packages at the schools. One otherbthing to note, on per diem you pay significantly less in taxes which brings your take home pay even to, or more than straight pay.

 

That's the question really. Am I getting more or less in the end with per diem. And with the new tax code eliminating the write off for company drivers is per diem pay now actually a better option?

 

Noone really knows if its better for company drivers now till we start filikg our taxes in the near future. I will say Ive done both and on straight pay i brought home $100 less A WEEK than I do on per diem.

 

Well, I suppose we can have this discussion after tax season. I won't be at Millis until summer earliest.
