Sales Tax on PCards
The YSM Controller’s Office, in conjunction with the university Controller’s Office, performed an analysis of sales tax that was charged to PCard purchases and automatically paid through that process. In that, we would like to remind departments to ensure that the university’s tax-exempt certificate is on file with organization where a PCard is used in an effort not to erroneously pay sales tax on goods and services.
