At one job I had in Sweden, conference trips abroad were a way to give engineers a reward that wasn't taxed at 60-80%.

I enjoyed my trips, but I learned very little.

What kinds of rewards were these that are not taxed?

Business travel is not taxable for the employee.

Okay, but how is that a reward? Maybe I wrongfully assumed we were talking about a money / material reward here.
