# Can I add a taxable part per day (in addition to non-taxable part) for per diem?

If you want your organization to add an extra taxable part when the users submit reports containing subsistence allowance, add this setting on your company and the system will calculate it automatically based on the settings you choose. 

Go to the tab "Settings" > "Expense management" > "Expense categories" > "Subsistence allowances" and click on the three dots at the right.
