In FY 2007, USAID/Zambia will pay an estimated $47,304 in IRM taxes. IRM imposes a pro-rata "tax" or charge for the operation, maintenance, and repair of information technology equipment and services such as web services, voice operations, and financial system integration, e.g. MACS to Phoenix. The IT Tax funding mechanism is centrally procured and country funded using Field Support. USAID/Zambia transfers the IT tax funds to USAID/Washington IRM Office under the IT Cost Recovery, Project # 969-10.CR Agreement. Program-funded US Direct Hires and US PSC contracts in USAID/Zambia are charged to cover the Information Resources Management (IRM) "tax" as per their time allocated to PEPFAR.
