For a son or daughter of a Reliant missionary who is participating in/attending a international event/trip   (ex. mission trip, international LT, etc.) there are three types of payment for the event fees.

1. If the child wants to be fully participating in the event, then they can attend the event like a normal event participant if they are old enough (can be under 18, but confirm age requirement with Reliant).  In this situation: 
   
   The child would need to register and apply for the event online, fill out all the forms, pay the online application fee and be responsible to pay the same event fees as the other event participants. 
   The child would then send out support letters and fund raise through the event fund, which is a non-taxable situation to the Reliant missionary parent.
   This option is available to children of all Reliant missionaries, including Associate Missionaries
   
   
2. If the Reliant employed missionary wants to raise support for the child's trip through the MTD account for which they are responsible rather than having the child fund raise through the event fund. In this situation: 
   
   The Reliant employed missionary must pay for the child's trip fees. 
   The Reliant employed missionary may then reimburse the child's trip fees if MTD funds are available (and there's no back-pay). 
   The reimbursement will be taxable to the Reliant employed missionary.  
   
   

3. If the child is attending the event because the Reliant employed missionary wants to bring their family on the trip with them (the child is not going to be an official participant in the event) any fees associated for the child to attend will be taxable expenses. 

   Note
   title Taxable Reimbursements are only available to Reliant employed missionaries
   Associate missionaries are not eligible to reimburse their family costs under 2. and 3. above, as these options are taxable and Associates are not eligible for taxable reimbursements.
