Boeing and the Pentagon Settle Double Billing Case for $10.7 Million
Boeing quietly agreed to repay the U.S. $10.7 million after a three-year investigation concluded it had double-billed the military for taxes paid to foreign governments on overseas employees, according to a document and officials.
The overcharges “affected hundreds of contracts across numerous Department of Defense entities,” according to the latest edition of an in-house training newsletter of the Defense Contract Management Agency highlighting contract irregularities. The agreement, reached in September, wasn’t previously disclosed.
“After a thorough investigation and review, Boeing paid $10.7 million to resolve the matter,” the newsletter disclosed. “Of this settlement, $404,000 involved foreign military sales. The countries involved in the foreign military sales were identified.”
