The School is exempt from Texas sales and use tax and the state portion of hotel occupancy tax as determined by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. As such, employees are required to make use of the exemption where applicable. The Texas Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificates, Texas Hotel Occupancy Tax Exemption Certificate and exemption documentation for specific vendors are available in the Business Office. Tax exempt purchases are to be made for School purposes only. Abuse of the exemption could result in the School losing its exemption status.
The School will not reimburse employees for sales tax on purchases where the tax exemption should have been applied.
If sales tax is included on purchases made with a school credit card where the tax exemption should have been applied, the School may request that the employee reimburse the School for the amount of the sales tax.
