Tax Exemption Reminders and Updates for Cardholders
We understand that how you obtain tax exemption from suppliers can vary by supplier, and lately, even the suppliers you have worked with or ordered from before have changed their tax exemption processes!
Here’s how we are trying to help you navigate these changes!
- The sleeves provided with your P-Card and your T&H Card have the Iowa State University Tax Exemption number on them. With some suppliers, all you will need to do is provide that number at the time of purchase, and you will receive tax exemption.
If you need a new card sleeve, please email cardservices@iastate.edu and let us know if you need a sleeve for your P-Card or your T&H Card (or both) and the address to which we should campus mail them!
- We have created a QR Code sticker for your card sleeves that will link you directly to the Local Supplier Information Webpage and enable you to have the most updated information with you at the point of sale!
If you would like one of the NEW Tax Exemption and Information for Local Suppliers QR Code Stickers, please email cardservices@iastate.edu and let us know the address to which it should be sent!
The businesses that we are currently aware require more information than our tax exemption number include: Fleet Farm, Home Depot, HyVee, Lowe’s, Menards, Michaels, Sam’s Club, Target, Theisen’s, and Walmart (fair warning, the Duff Avenue store has different requirements than the North Grand store).
Please let us know if you encounter additional local businesses that require more than our tax exemption number so that we can include that information as well.
- Gone are the days when one Tax Exemption Certificate can be used for any supplier. A certificate for a specific supplier is now required by the Iowa Department of Revenue and can be requested through our online Tax Exempt Form.
The company name and address are required fields on the form as this is the information that is needed to create a Tax Exemption Certificate for that supplier.
