Highlights

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) requested GAO's opinion on whether or not to allow a contractor claim for state taxes paid in connection with work pursuant to a contract. GAO held that since NASA did not indicate that the contractor would be responsible for paying the state taxes, and the contractor reasonably relied on NASA to determine its responsibilities in this regard, the claim may be allowed.
