Anyone Have A List of No Used Car Sales Tax States?

If you register it in NY, you pay sales tax there. NH has no sales tax--nor state income tax. But that only helps if you're a resident. If your state has sales tax, you get caught at the DMV.

Sales taxes in the United States are assessed by every state except Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon. In some cases, sales taxes are also assessed at the county or municipal le

 

I live in Oregon and people who buy cars here still end up paying sales tax unless the register it somewhere in Oregon. Once registered here there is no tax if you go to another state, but it would be quite a hassle I would imagine if you don't have a house here to pull off.

In Nevada, if the vehicle is purchased via private party, no sales tax is assessed.

 

Typically sales tax is paid in the state the car is registered.

Typically a car cannot be registered in a state without some sort of property or partial residence.

Scaming on sales tax is in fact tax fraud.

All this running around, potetnial problems worth a lousy couple grand....ten grand?

 

In Montana all you need is a PO Box. Many people buy the car and register it here. Been done many times.

 

i will say this for texas, speaking from personal experience and think this applies to many other states, if you buy a vehicle out of state and bring it here, you will pay texas state tax, unless you can demonstrate that you paid tax in another state and that state's taxes exceeded the texas tax (6.25% for vehicles). if the other state's tax was less than 6.25%, you will be required to pay the difference to texas.

 

Dunno if the above Texas quote applies in a situation where one is transferring title from another state, where one had -previously- had a legit title.
I did this many years ago - had moved from TX to NM, but still had residence, etc, here in TX. Only NM credential I had was a driver's license. Bought the car while in NM, came back to TX, just did a transfer, which at the time I think just involved some sort of $100 fee.

Key to this is having some sort of presence in the 'foreign' state, so that you're just transferring a car when you 'move' to TX.
