What is Sales tax and what is Use tax?

All tangible products sold to SJSU are taxable. Most California vendors will include sales tax as part of the invoiced amount.

If a vendor does not include sales tax on an invoice, SJSU must pay the tax directly to the state as use tax. Sales tax and/or Use tax is charged to department accounts and paid by SJSU on invoices for tangible products.
