The 2006 Domestic Per Diem Rates are developed by the U.S.
General Services Administration. The rates are effective based on the
Federal Government fiscal year which runs October through September
instead of the calendar year.
- Lodging allowance rates are room rates only
excluding taxes. Compare the actual room rate
only to the lodging allowance rate when preparing the TEV.
If the actual room rate only is equal or under the lodging allowance rate,
you may claim the actual room rate plus taxes without an
exception.
- Alaska, Hawaii and other U.S. possessions - go to the Foreign
per diem schedules
