Does this mean there will be different reimbursable miscellaneous travel expenses for travel in the U.S. and US territories and possessions, and travel in foreign countries?
A3 – Yes, the bottom line is that room taxes now will be separated from the room rates for the per diem rates for the U.S. and US territories and possessions only; not so for foreign countries. The traveler must be aware of this change in order to submit a correct travel voucher. TDY vouchers must list the room taxes separately as a reimbursable expense for U.S. and US territory and possession TDY sites but include the taxes as part of the room cost for foreign locations. Filing a correct voucher saves time and paperwork for both the traveler and the finance office.
