Expenditure Codes: Other Capital (External Contractors)

A copy of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 1099 is sent to all providers of building improvements/remodeling, new construction, and planning/design/management costs annually when expenditures total $600 or more, except providers that are colleges or universities, corporations, or university departments. The sub-object codes provide information used by the university to generate IRS Form 1099.

Additionally, payments coded to this object series are subject to a construction insurance premium. The premium is assessed monthly by an automated journal entry and remitted to the Arizona Department of Administration, Risk Management Section.
