Check to Show Hints for Completing this Form

This software has the flexibility to let you quickly create the Purchase Order document you want. It does this by providing many options with appropriate defaults.

One common default is 'Do Not Specify'. This default means that the finished agreement will not have a clause dealing with that topic. The benefit of not specifying is that you get a shorter and simpler document, and in some cases, the issue may not even be applicable; however, the document will be less precise.

If you are unsure of an answer, you can leave the answer blank and a blank line will be inserted in the place of your answer. You will be able to fill in that answer later (but before the contract is signed).

Taxes and Totals

Subtotal:

Local Sales Tax:	% Warning: Sales tax rounds to 2 decimal places.
Consult municipal and county statute to find applicable local sales tax rates.

Sales Tax: Q. Which sales tax is applicable? Is it determined by the seller's address, the seller's head office address, the buyer's address or the location of the goods?

A. Generally the sales tax of the seller will apply. If a buyer purchases and takes delivery outside the seller's jurisdiction then the seller's sales tax would not be applicable. But any sales tax in the jurisdiction where the purchaser took possesion may be applicable.

The seller would usually only be required to collect sales tax where the buyer purchases and takes possession within the seller's jurisdiction. The responsibility would be on the buyer to self-assess and pay sales tax in the jurisdiction where the buyer took delivery or where the good or service will be used. A self-assessed tax would not be included on a PO or invoice but would simply be paid directly to the Buyer's governing body.

Harmonized Sales Tax: Q. Which sales tax is applicable? Is it determined by the seller's address, the seller's head office address, the buyer's address or the location of the goods?

A. Generally the sales tax of the seller will apply. If a buyer purchases and takes delivery outside the seller's jurisdiction then the seller's sales tax would not be applicable. But any sales tax in the jurisdiction where the purchaser took possesion may be applicable.
