    Important information to know:

    1. Works of art: For the purposes of this guide, a work of art consists of tangible property that can be seen, measured, or touched.
    2. Avoid conflicts of interest: Refer to the appendices for information covering employee-vendor conflict of interest issues.
    3. Tax information: Payments may only be made to recipients with a Social Security Number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). Use IRS Form W-7 Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to apply for an ITIN number.
    4. Payment: If this is the first time the recipient will be receiving a UCSC non-payroll payment, complete a Payee_Setup_204 form.

    The original vendor invoice must be submitted in order for a payment to be made to the vendor.

    • Email the FAST/AP Office at aphelp@ucsc.edu authorizing payment when the original purchase order amount is exceeded by $100 to $499.99.

  • Basic sales and use tax

    Generally, all purchases of tangible goods are subject to the assessment of sales or use tax.

    • If the full amount of sales tax is not collected by the vendor, the remaining amount of tax due will be charged to the department making the purchase.
    • A product, such as software, supplied in electronic form through e-mail attachment, internet, or facsimile is not subject to the payment of sales and use tax; the same product supplied on a magnetic disk, CD, or DVD is subject to sales and use tax.
