Tax-exempt organizations

To qualify for sales tax exemption (sales tax is ONLY applied to the Event Book Advertisement, if you select this option), you need to follow these steps:

1. Register online as normal; the invoice you view online after registering will include sales tax.
2. After registering, fax a copy of your FLORIDA Tax Exemption Certificate to the Career Resource Center at 352-392-5268. Please include a copy of your registration invoice.
NOTE: If the name on the certificate differs from name on the registration, please note this on BOTH forms.
3. Once the FLORIDA Tax Exemption Certificate has been received, your invoice will be updated to reflect your tax-exempt status.
4. The CRC will notify you when the update to your invoice has been made.
5. Pay the amount on the updated invoice.

No registration can be processed as tax-exempt without a copy of the tax-exemption certificate from the STATE OF FLORIDA.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept tax exemption certificates from other states. Any organization tax-exempt in a state other than Florida must apply with the State of Florida. This application can be found at http://www.myflorida.com/dor/forms/2003/dr5.pdf. A copy of this application can be submitted in place of the tax exemption certificate until one is obtained.

Parking

Parking at the University of Florida can be challenging. The parking garage adjacent to the Stephen C. O’Connell Center is available to recruiters for parking. Since parking is limited we STRONGLY recommend arriving for Career Showcase before 8 a.m.

You do not need a parking pass; simply have a business card available and tell parking staff on hand that you are an employer attending Career Showcase.

The CRC is not responsible for any parking violations that you receive while attending the event; it is your responsibility to verify valid parking areas with posted signs or an appropriate police or parking official.
