Important: North Carolina State Sales Tax information
The North Carolina General Assembly made significant changes to the Sales and Use Tax Code during its 2013 General Session. One of the changes will have an impact on how much students pay for meals at universities in North Carolina. Previously, student at higher education institutions in North Carolina were exempt from paying sales tax when they purchased food on campus. However this exemption, G.S. 105-164.13(27) was repealed by the North Carolina tax reform bill (H998) SL 2013-316. The University has been advised that dining plans will be subject to North Carolina sales tax effective with the 2014 summer dining plans. The sales tax of 6.75% will appear as a separate line item on your semester billing statements.
