My department receives federal grants to purchase tangible personal property for the department’s operation, should my department pay sales or use tax?
Yes, if your department receives federal grant to purchase tangible personal property for the department’s usage, and when the title to the item vests in the University at the time of purchase, then the purchase becomes subject to state sales or use tax. Use tax was accrued for my employee reimbursement of books I ordered and paid online and was charged to my department financial statement, should I be reimbursed for the use tax charged to my department? No. Use tax accrued and charged to the department will not be reimbursed to employee since the employee never paid the use tax. Use tax accrued will be paid to the State Board of Equalization.
