How Much You Can Save in Taxes

A Win-Win Deal

The first win is that you save money when you use Cougar Cash. And while you're saving money, BYU also wins by avoiding debit and credit card processing fees.

Students, faculty, and staff are not charged sales tax at campus restaurants and campus print and copy centers when they pay with Cougar Cash! The sales tax rate on prepared food is 8.45%, so on a purchase of $10.00 you will save 85 cents. That's better than any Credit Card reward.
