Sales and Use Tax
The University of Washington is subject to Washington state sales or use tax on all purchases that are not exempt by statute. It is generally the departments' responsibility to correctly apply use tax if a vendor does not correctly charge sales tax. The Tax Office, Accounts Payable and the Purchasing department are all available for questions related to sales or use tax.
