Chapter 10 - General IT Procurement Policies

10.16.4 Sales and use tax for contractors

Persons who contract with the Commonwealth or its political subdivisions to perform an IT service and in providing the service also provide some tangible personal property are the consumers of such property and are not entitled to a sales or use tax exemption. This is true even though title to the property provided may pass to the Commonwealth and/or the supplier may be fully and directly reimbursed by the government.
