  Missouri Hotels/Motels

  Question: I am a University of Missouri employee and will be purchasing goods and services from a Missouri hotel solely for University purposes in conformity with University travel regulations. How do I request that Missouri and local sales tax not be added to my bill?

  Answer: At the time of check-in, the employee should present to the hotel/motel management:

  1. A copy of the Missouri Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate
  2. A letter printed on University letterhead designating the travel as University business.
  3. Their University identification card.

  Note: This exemption is most likely to be granted if the employee is using the University Missouri Corporate Credit Card.

  Purchases Paid by Employees

  Please note: Where feasible and appropriate, employees should have the University pay pre-trip travel expenses and all non-travel purchases directly. No state or local taxes should be charged in cases where it is a Missouri vendor or out-of-state vendor for which the University is exempt.

  2. their University Identification card

  Out-Of-State

  Please keep in mind that this refers to state sales tax. Hotels often charge other types of taxes that the University may not be exempt from.
