I can claim a payment from the government

TexasConstruction ContractPay ApplicationsPayment Disputes

I had a construction contract in which the government included the payment of taxes. In the end he did not want to pay us. The project was outside the US. This was 2 years ago. I need advice to claim that payment.

Hello,

The type of attorney you are going to need is very specialized. You want a Construction attorney familiar with Federal contracts and relevant tax law. My reading of the Federal Acquisitions Regulation says that they should be paying taxes on some items and no taxes on others.

The language of the contract, any written agreements, and related treaties will govern. The government has to be very explicit in what they say they are going to provide. If there is nothing written that says they will pay tax to you, you are going to have a very bad time.

Thanks for the reply. How can I find the advice I need? Part of the contract documents was the budget. Someone told me that the government is obligated but I don't know if at this time I can still make a claim. I need help with this. This situation greatly complicated our work situation.

Hello,

If you are unable to find someone, I am willing to take a look. I will be the first to admit I have not done this part before so anyone who has is far more qualified.

What I have done to prepare, though, is take a look at the FAR 52.233 so I have an idea of the process. I would need to see the contract documents and we would go from there.

I would be willing to reduce my rate as this is a matter of first impression for me. If you still have an interest in working together, please shoot me an email. I completely understand if you want to keep searching.

What government? Was the government the owner?  What taxes - those of the project location or of some other taxing entity? Who is "he"? Where was the project; i.e. what country?  Frankly, this is a very complex issue.  I cannot believe you will get a viable response without actually consulting a lawyer.

Different people have different ideas of the role of government. So check essay examples about it https://papersowl.com/examples/daca/ . Many believe that the primary purpose of a government is to provide social services to the people. These services can range from helping poor people avoid hunger to helping the elderly get the health care they need. Without these services, many people would not be able to survive.
