Oops I meant to say I DON'T Know if calling Apple will work for non-Apple apps: Ryan, For iPads the volume purchase program is tax exempt. For Macs I agree this is a real problem. I've found no way to buy through the App Store without paying sales tax. I was given this Apple phone number: 800/800-2775 x 5 from the computer center when I wanted to buy multiple copies of iWorks for our office. This allowed me to buy this software tax exempt with my University PCard. Do know if this would work for non-Apple apps. Brian On 2/14/12 9:26 AM, Ryan M.

To me the biggest pain is that you need an account (using an e-mail that you are not already using for iTunes) for the PM account and a different account (with yet a different e-mail address) to be the person that actually buys/installs the software.
