How do I find out if a PO or invoice has been processed or paid?
Why do I have to pay sales tax on the product I ordered even though it didn't come from a company in Washington?
The University is required to pay tax on all purchases just as any other business or consumer must do. WWU is not tax exempt. We pay either a sales tax (as specified by RCW 82.08) or a use tax (RCW 82.12) on almost all purchases. The only exceptions are exemptions for certain categories such as food, advertising, or professional services.
Sales Tax should be represented on price quotes and
invoices from vendors who are registered with the Washington
State Department of Revenue.
Use Tax is a compensating tax that we pay to the
State of Washington. It will always be our current local tax
rate (8.5%) and Accounts Payable will add it to invoices from
vendors who are not registered with the Washington State
Department of Revenue.
What's this PCD thing in my budget report?
What is required for Purchasing to handle my request
as a sole source?
