My accounting teach expresses that I did an entry wrong on a general ledger because I listed a calculator as an office supply and not an equipment. Is this correct? Please give sources.

I work for a non-profit women’s shelter. We are having trouble keeping our office supplies under budget. Any ideas on where I can get cheaper office supplies? We generally buy from Wal-Mart or Office Depot right now. Sometimes people donate stuff but we still have to buy quite a bit.

How long will the post office hold my package? It has been there for about 4 days already. How long will the post office keep it there for me? I’m really worried because I need the package before Wednesday!

Well, I just tried to send something out today and apparently I didn’t have enough postage since they changed the pricing at the post office. How often does this happen? I am relatively new to using the post office, but if they keep the flat-rate stuff at this much, I’m going to use a lot of money.

How often do they change pricing?

I am in charge of purchasing kitchen supplies for our office. We usually use the money left over from a bottle return but that is not covering the cost of supplies anymore.
Does anyone have some easy ideas to raise money within our office to help cover these costs?
We already have a snack/candy bin that we sell and use the profits towards something else.
We do already have coffee drinkers bring in coffee on an as needed basis. The money is needed more for dish soap, dish sponges, paper plates and silverware. we are discussing going the “green” route and having people bring in some of these items from home to re use.

srsly? asked:


shipped to the stores from our Texas warehouse at the rate imposed by the state the store is in?

If so, do we also pay sales tax to Texas because the items were shipped here first?

I know sales/use tax laws vary greatly from state to state. I was told yesterday however, that we have to pay Texas tax on operating supplies in our warehouse that are not for use in Texas but are shipped to our stores.

My company has been paying sales/use tax to both jurisdictions for a long time… This doesn’t seem right..??!! Any and all info welcome.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
The vendor is charging sales tax. We’re paying it at Texas rate and we are accruing it when we ship to nexus.

So, should we be paying Texas sales tax?
