Boeing Co. quietly agreed to repay the U.S. $10.7 million after a three-year investigation concluded it 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.
