Syracuse University’s NYS sales tax exemption number is displayed on the credit card. Sales tax exemption certificates for New York State and other states may be obtained by contacting the Purchasing Office at 315-443-2281. Sales tax is not automatically exempt by using the credit card (not even for the Neporent Café or the SU Bookstore).

• The cardholder must note they are tax exempt and vendors require the certificate to provide sales tax exemption. It is the responsibility of the cardholder to make certain that sales tax is not inappropriately charged to the credit card.

• • Cardholders should bring sales tax issues to the attention of the MCCP at 315-443-1957.

• If Sales Tax is included on a receipt as part of the JPMC expense, and SU’s exemption applies, the tax amount must be refunded. Either the vendor must process a credit for the taxes charged, or the cardholder must reimburse via a personal check for taxes charged, depending on the transaction.

• • If a personal check is written, please send to Budget for processing. The deposit slip will need to be included in the monthly report.
