New tax forms are now available on the Strategic Procurement Tax Forms website.
Definitions and direct links to each are also included below.
ST-2: Harvard’s Massachusetts certificate of exemption from sales tax, effective 1/4/19
ST-5: Harvard’s Massachusetts purchaser certificate, for exemption from sales tax
W-9: Harvard’s certification of its federal Tax ID number, used for tax reporting purposes
Please note, as part of a 2016 state-wide change in Massachusetts, Harvard’s sales tax exemption certificate (and related documents) now display Harvard’s state tax ID number, instead of its federal tax ID number. Any federal document will continue to display Harvard’s Federal Tax ID number.
Additional information regarding Harvard’s tax exempt status may be found on Strategic Procurement’s Tax Exemption Guidance page.
