Requirement to Pay Sales Tax
The University of Washington is not exempt from paying Washington state sales or use tax. Vendors are expected to charge sales tax on sales they make to the University. Out of state vendors may not be registered to do business in the state of Washington and may not charge the appropriate tax. If sales tax is not charged and the item is subject to tax, use tax will be assessed.
Supplier Registration
All suppliers not already in the supplier database must register with the University to ensure that we have the appropriate information for both state and federal tax reporting. Please reach out to your contact at the University to initiate the supplier onboarding process in Workday. There is additional information on the Procurement Services website.
