Tax
Exempt Certificate (PDF format)
Most purchases made for materials and services to be used by Georgia
State University in the conduct of its business are exempt from State
of Georgia and local Sales Taxes. This certificate contains the Tax
Exempt Number that vendors ask for before deducting sales and use
tax from their invoices.
When you
are using the "P" Card, Express Voucher or Petty Cash for
purchases, you should always try and avoid paying Sales Tax. GSU does
not 'owe' the tax, but many vendor's will charge it anyway out of
habit. By printing out a copy of the certificate and presenting it
to the vendor at the time of purchase, you are providing the necessary
paperwork for the vendor to deduct the sales and use taxes that would
normally be charged.
NOTE: In some cases, a vendor's employees may not recognize the form
or know how to handle it. This may be especially true in the retail
arena. If a vendor's employee is reluctant to accept the form, ask
to speak with someone in management. They will likely be familiar
with the certificate and should know how to deduct the tax from your
purchase.
NOTE: The Certificate is enforceable in Georgia only. You may present
it when making purchases out-of-state and a vendor may deduct the
sales and/or use tax for that locality as a courtesy. Vendors in other
states are not obligated to recognize GSU's tax exempt status, and
may be precluded by their state laws from doing so. However, it costs
nothing to ask and may save the State (and your budget) some money.

Vendor
Registration - Vendors do not register directly with GSU. The
DOAS Vendor Database serves as the GSU vendor database. The DOAS Vender
Registration System is a web-based system by which vendors can register
their firms with the state of Georgia. The system allows vendors to
select the products and services provided by their firms, using NIGP
Codes. (For more information on codes, select the NIGP Codes below.)
The system is self-maintained, and vendors are responsible for updating
their registration information. Once completed, the vendor's firm
is entered into the vendor database. Vendors are encouraged to sign-up
for e-mail RFQ notification, a free service from DOAS.

The numeric coding system used by the state of Georgia for identifying
products and services for solicitation and vendor registration. The

The search for an appropriate code can be conducted by keyword or specific
code. A list of vendors registered by code can also be obtained.
