This is a friendly reminder that Lawrence University is tax exempt from sales tax on goods and services purchased in Wisconsin.  Last week Financial Services obtained over $350 in refunds for sales tax that should not have been paid.  Please try to keep our exemption in mind when making purchases on behalf of Lawrence University during our new fiscal year 2018-2019.   Vendors should not need anything more than the Wisconsin tax exempt form that can be found on the Financial Services website.  The link is below.

• Florida
• Illinois (does not apply to lodging)
• Massachusetts (does not apply to meals and/or lodging)
• Minnesota (does not apply to meals and/or lodging)
• New York
• Colorado

Please contact Jill Senso, X6544 to obtain the sales tax form that vendors in these states will need.

Please see the below message from Dan Meyer, Director of Facility Services:

After 12 years at Lawrence, two as the Energy Engineer and ten as the Director of Facilities Services, I am planning to reduce my hours to half time in January 2019 and retire fully around July 2019.  I will be assisting in the transition to a new director and will then oversee energy initiatives during the next 12 months.

Thank you for all of the support and encouragement to me and the Facility Services staff throughout the past 12 years.  The entire Facility Services team and I take great pride in our work and our ability to make improvements and keep things running on a daily basis.

Thanks,

Dan
