How To Find Information on the University's Tax Exempt Status

Purchasing and Accounting have developed a UW-Madison Tax Exempt Status Letter designed to answer inquiries concerning our tax exempt status. This letter is available for download as a Microsoft Word document. This form is used to send to entities questioning our tax exempt status and includes the University of Wisconsin’s ID numbers.

Should it be required, a copy of the University of Wisconsin System Tax Exempt Certificate is also available as a Microsoft Word document.

The University of Wisconsin System provides access to tax exempt forms for a large number of States. These forms are particularly helpful for planning trips and can save departments tax payments. Instructions for use are provided for each individual State listed at http://web.uwsa.edu/travel/login/

Please contact Purchasing Services if you have any questions.
