Items not to be purchased using the PCard

You cannot use a PCard for payments that would qualify for 1099-MISC reporting to the Internal Revenue Service.  You can obtain more detailed information on 1099-MISC reporting at the IRS web site:  http://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1099msc/index.html.

Other items that you cannot use the PCard for include:

  • Onsite contractor or construction services
  • Service and maintenance contracts
  • Legal fees
  • Mortgages, rents and real estate taxes
  • Radioactive or controlled substances
  • Furniture, drapes and carpeting
  • Equipment leases (unless authorized by the Comptroller or Sourcing departments)
  • Employee travel expenses

The PCard may not be used for any payments on formal contracts approved by the Office of the Comptroller, other than Office of General Services’ contracts.
