When setting up a new account with a vendor, be sure that we are not charged sales tax. (HMS is a tax-exempt institution.) Some vendors need evidence of our Massachusetts ST-2 form, which documents this tax-exempt status. Our ST-2 certificate number is 042-103-580. If the vendor requests it, can can provide this certificate by fax and/or as an e-mail attachment.
Note: NIH grants cannot pay for sales tax. If we slip up and pay for sales tax, it must come out of the startup funds.
