Tax would not apply when paying hotel or food or other costs,
directly. Only travel sponsorship and other reimbursements.

Big update:
Government pays for venue+security there directly. The government is
*not* paying for hotels or food directly, that has to come out of our money.
150,000€ is what the government gives us for other costs, _including_
food and accommodation. (before global team had thought 150,000€
would not have to cover accom and food).
