K.S.A. 75-3207a(e) provides that the daily lodging expense limitations established
above may be exceeded by the lesser of either: (1) an additional 50% of the
applicable lodging expense limitation, or (2) the actual lodging expense incurred.
These lodging limits continue to be applied to the lodging rate before
taxes. Thus, the amount reimbursed or paid for lodging expenses may exceed the established
lodging limitation by as much as the amount of associated taxes.
