If the office is paying for the apparel, the Employee Non-cash Reporting Form must be attached to requisition. Each employee that receives any non-cash item must be listed on the form. Only one form needed per Requisition.
If the employee is paying personally in part or in full, the office needs to charge sales tax on the personally paid amount.

This $100 threshold for non-cash items applies to the cumulative value of all non-cash items provided to an employee during a calendar year. Link to Expenditures Policy
