Subject: RE: Final Voucher 10810414(1) prepared by a travel arranger is pending your review Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2019 19:27:14 +0000 Good afternoon all, Alex, an Accounting Department representative just contacted me regarding the transient occupancy tax you were charged for your stay at Doubletree by Hilton Santa Monica, but unfortunately since you used your personal card to pay for the hotel, they are not authorized to remove the taxes from your bill. Sorry for the inconvenience. Let me know if you have further questions regarding your travel voucher for this trip. suotect: at: rinai voucner iu2f1U414µ1preparea ay a travel arranger is pending your review Alex, regarding the Transient Occupancy Tax, LA County is tax exempt. I've contacted Doubletree by Hilton Santa Monica for a refund for those charges. Thanks for your patience in this matter. Subject: RE: Final Voucher 10810414(1) prepared by a travel arranger is pending your review Unfortunately this is still incorrect. First, it has the nightly lodging costs listed as $248 when in fact it was $247 — see the invoice, which is attached again. (Or please let me know if I'm supposed to be reimbursed for the maximum daily allowance rather than the actual cost.) Also it still does not include the tax. Please let me know when it is corrected and I will review it again.
