Lunch reimbursements not wages for tax withholding court says
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that employers need not withhold taxes on lunch expense reimbursements for non overnight travel. The decision reverses a lower court and centers on whether reimbursements qualify as wages under tax law. The Illinois case involved Central Illinois Public Service Co reimbursing 1,900 employees $139,936.12 for off duty lunches without withholding taxes. The IRS was ordered to refund over $36,000. The ruling does not address business meals or broader tax liability.
