Yes! Please use tax exempt form/documents for ALL purchases.

The University of Denver is exempt from the State of Colorado and local sales tax. The University’s tax-exempt number (98-00574) should be provided to suppliers when making purchases. In general, the purchase needs to be made from University funds (P-Card or check) to qualify for tax exemption. It is the responsibility of the employee making a purchase to ensure that sales taxes for which we are exempted are not paid with University funds. This includes seeking a refund for taxes that were charged inappropriately. 

Some vendors will require that the University’s certificate of exemption is provided at the time of purchase. Tax exemption certificates can be found on the Controller’s website under “Other Forms.”

· The CO State Sales Tax Exemption Form should be presented when requesting exemption from Colorado state sales or use tax. 

· The City of Denver Tax Exemption Form should be presented for exemption from Denver sales, use, or lodger’s tax. For hotels, motels, and restaurants in this category, the Lodger Tax Exemption Form may also be requested.

· The Multi-Jurisdiction Certificate should be presented if establishing tax-exempt status with a company. 

Please keep in mind that these guidelines may vary. As a best practice, request that the merchant designate which forms are required for the situation at hand. Please note that not all DU transactions are exempt from tax. For questions, please contact Shared Services at 303-871-7420.
