Hosting expenses are for business meals taken with guests, colleagues, or donors.
Hosting Limits
Expenses should not exceed the per-person allowances of $30 for breakfast, $30 for lunch, $70 for dinner, and $20 for alcohol, including tax and tip. (Note that alcohol purchases are restricted on most shortcodes.)
Receipts
- Taubman College requires itemized receipts for all purchases, showing what was purchased and the payment method. See SSC’s receipt resource page for examples of itemized receipts.
- If a receipt is lost or not provided (e.g., parking kiosk), please attach a missing receipt memo to your report.
Attendee Lists
- You must include a list of attendees with your expense report submission (see bulk template instructions for adding large groups).
- If you exceed the per-person hosting limits, you must either:
- Mark the overage amount as a personal expense by selecting “Itemize” to add a “Personal/Non-Reimbursable” line, OR
- Attach an exception memo signed by a supervisor or higher level administrative authority
