Fee-for-Service Educational Activity (FSEA) units are responsible for reporting and paying sales and use taxes on sales with external customers. Departments should submit the Sales and Use tax reports to the Auxiliary Accounting Office no later than the 10th of every month via email (ga-aux@ad.ufl.edu).
Periodically the Auxiliary Accounting Office conducts a review of the FSEA sales based on the Department of Revenue Guidelines for Colleges and Universities to ensure all required sales taxes are remitted to the Florida Department of Revenue.
The Auxiliary Accounting Office is responsible for remitting the University’s sales and use taxes on Form DR-15, the Sales and Use Tax Return. The Federal Internal Revenue Service and State Department of Revenue routinely make audits of universities. Failure to comply with the various tax regulations that affect universities are not only costly but can be harmful to the image and prestige of the university.
