Did you know that the UA W-9, sales tax exemption, and UA federal tax ID number are available on the Tax Office website?

Often UA vendors request an updated W-9 each year.  A current year signed UA W-9 form is available at the link below.  Please visit the UA Tax Office page for additional W-9 forms for separate UA entities.

For purchases using UA funds within the State of Alabama (or orders shipped into Alabama), UA is exempt from sales tax.  The purchase must be made directly by UA via a Pcard, Purchase Order or Invoice/UA Payment.  Sales tax exemption does not apply to purchases made by individuals, student organizations or foundations.  The link with additional sales tax information is provided below.
