Just because the ATO allows that amount per day, does not mean that this is what all companies will pay for per diems of course. The rates do look higher than they might often, due to the very favourable exchange rate from AUD-GBP at the moment. GBP160 today would often have onl been around GBP110 when the AUD isnt so strong and with the worst ROE I have seen around $83
Per diems do make it a lot simpler for both sides
