Description

U.S. agencies, including the Dept. of Defense (DOD), Dept. of State (State) Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), have negotiated agreements with the Afghan government that exempt their contracts from certain Afghan business taxes. However, since 2008, the Afghan government has levied taxes and tax-related penalties on contractors supporting U.S. government contracts in Afghanistan that should be exempt from such taxes under the negotiated agreements. The objectives of this audit were to determine (1) the amount and types of inappropriate business taxes and associated penalties the Afghan government assessed and the amount paid and reported by contractors supporting U.S. government contracts in Afghanistan; and (2) the extent to which U.S. government agencies have taken steps to minimize the tax burden imposed by the Afghan government on these contractors. Tables. This is a print on demand report.
