L1 visa per diem

[Priyab81]

Hi,

My company is planning to send me onsite on L1 as perdiem +Indian salary.

Can anyone let me know if we need to pay tax when we stay on perdiem for more than 6 months in USA. If yes, how the tax gets calculated.

Also, is it right to stay in US on perdiem on L1 and will it not impact future visas

Thanks in advance

All global income must be reported to IRS if one stays in US for substantial amount of time. It's not illegal to work on per diem while on L1 visa. But every company has its own way of reporting the same. You need to ask this question to your employer.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
