Where: https://www.dau.edu/events/DAU%20Webcasts%20-%20Value%20Added%20Tax%20for%20International%20Efforts

Policies require that DoD seek VAT exemption from foreign countries to the maximum extent practicable. As such, it is necessary that program management, contracting, financial management, and other acquisition personnel are knowledgeable of VAT exemption since it may pertain to international efforts.
