Taxes assessed against the provider, in accordance with the levying enactments of the several states and lower levels of government and for which the provider is liable for payment, are allowable costs.

Whenever exemptions to taxes are legally available the provider is to take advantage of them. If the provider does not take advantage of available exemptions, the expense incurred for taxes is not an allowable cost. 3.
