Receipt Tax

When the University sells items, sales and use tax is not levied at the time of purchase. The vendor must be provided an exemption certificate in order to grant us an exemption of sales tax on such purchases.

When a department at the University sells items, the department must collect receipt tax at the time the item is sold. This tax is not refundable. The department making the sale is responsible for depositing the tax collected into account 110000-21021 and reporting it on the Monthly Departmental Sales Tax Form (XLS)
