TIPS & TRICKS2USE
BEARBUY
Should I include sales tax and/or shipping on my BearBuy order form?

You should not include tax and/or shipping. Please enter only the price of the item.

The Purchase Order (PO) contains this clause, “Shipping, Handling and Tax charges are calculated and charged by each supplier.” This means UCSF will pay sales tax and shipping according to the supplier’s invoice.

The PO will show whether the item was marked as taxable. The item will default to taxable or non-taxable based on the commodity code selected on the order form. However, you can edit the tax selection in your shopping cart, if necessary.
