Does anyone know if the pCard purchase automatically triggers no sales tax on a purchase within the state?
Not likely. The State is not exempt from State taxes, another example of astounding stupidity.
I did a job for the State once and didn't charge the sales tax, assuming it was exempt. Surprise! The tax department informed me "The State is not exempt from State taxes". I got screwed for the tax and a late payment fee.
The State is difficult to do business with, slow to pay, LOTS of tax clearances etc. I don't bother with them anymore. Those who do, charge more to compensate for the headaches. That's why the government jobs seem so expensive compared to what logic would dictate, because there is no logic.
When I was teaching, business people donated stuff to UH rather than doing the paperwork, or more likely refused to deal with us at all.
