Inform Your Vendor of Location of Use for Sales and Usage Tax Savings

PSJH deals in multiple states with varying sales tax, ranging from 0% to over 10%. The budget owner and/or requestor should provide the vendor the location where each good or service is being used, so the vendor applies the appropriate sales tax. If the vendor is not informed, they may likely charge sales tax based on either the Ship To or the AP address.
