At the end of August 2013, the order of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine No. 667 of 19.07.2013 came into force, changing certain provisions of the Instructions on business trips No. 59 of 13.03.98.
New Instructions on business trips provide for ticket reimbursement
At the end of August 2013, the order of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine No. 667 of 19.07.2013 came into force, changing certain provisions of the Instructions on business trips No. 59 of 13.03.98.
The changes establish improved rules for the transport/travel electronic document for a train. The main innovation is the possibility of reimbursing funds for the purchase of a ticket based on a printed paper ticket (a printed transport document, in the case of transporting luggage, or a document for services for additional services, such as bedding). In the event of the return of an electronic document, a printed document confirming the fact of return is required.
The website of the State Railway Transport Administration provides online information regarding the availability and status of an electronic ticket.
For employees of enterprises located abroad for a long period and receiving wages in foreign currency, and for employees of the diplomatic service of Ukraine sent on long-term business trips and receiving payments in foreign currency, the amount of per diem expenses for a business trip within the country of stay for one day is now set at 40% of the per diem amounts specified in Annex 1 to the CMU resolution of 02.02.2011 No. 98 for the respective country (in the previous edition the per diem amounted to 50% of those specified in the annex).
