How do I take advantage of the Yale’s Tax Exemption for Sales Tax and Hotel Occupancy Tax?
The University is exempt from Connecticut state sales tax and hotel occupancy tax. However, in order to have transaction properly recognized as tax exempt, a specific form must be prepared by the University and on file with the merchant. Also, these forms must be updated periodically by the University and referenced at time of purchase by the University representative making the purchase (must be for University business purposes only). This procedure is cost effective especially for purchases where the University is doing a sufficient amount of business to warrant the time necessary to meet these requirements. In situations where this is not possible or practical, the University does permit sales tax and hotel occupancy tax to be paid or reimbursed.
