See? It's why I'd run it by finance! :)
(And also be thinking of how I could invite myself along to any meetings there. That deal was interesting because digitising Vatican archives opens the possibility of making them more accessable to researchers.)
Tax is something I'm more familiar with, ie tax exempt status is common with public sector contracts, UN agencies, some charities etc etc, but still worth checking. For the Vatican, I was thinking more along the lines of general contracting, and in Autonomy's case, making sure deals get reported for US and UK entities in accordance with those standards. So if HP's arguing that treatment wasn't correct per US, it doesn't seem very relevant if the parent's UK accounts were treated correctly.
