Sales Tax on Distict Purchasing Cards

From Bob Young
Second Notice – Administrators using District Purchasing Cards for the purchase of goods and services need to make sure that sales tax is not being charged as a part of the transaction. The District???s Sales Tax and Use Entity Exemption number is printed on the Purchasing Card for your reference at the time of the transaction. If a hard copy of the document is required by the vendor, the Purchasing Department can email or fax this document in a very short time.

If you fail to require this exemption at the time of purchase, you will be asked by the Accounts Payable Department (in writing) to solicit a refund from the vendor at the time of payment of your Visa statement. You will be allowed thirty (30) days to resolve this matter. This can been done by contacting the vendor and providing them the information to make the correction and credit your account or, as the card holder, you may reimburse the District for the sales tax charges. This can be handled in the form of a personal check, cashier???s check, or money order. If you have not resolved the matter by the end of the thirty day time frame, your District Purchasing Card will be inactivated.

This may often not be a large amount of money, but it is reviewed and cited by our Auditors when it occurs. Thank you for your help and cooperation with this matter.
