Registering 1-ton Truck in KS

KSBOWMAN Yes, I sent you a private message. It use to be as you described. I have done several vehicle's they accepted the bill of sale instead of book value.

Thanks Colliehauler. I stand corrected. Didn't realize there had been a change in the law.

I still think we are getting taken advantage of paying a tax on a used vehicle that has already been taxed.

^ Agree with you guys about use tax on used purchases and market value.
But a lot of states doo it. If a guy is a little crafty, you can skirt it, sometimes.
Pay to play, I get it, but I'm not above trying to protect my own bottom line either. Especially with double taxation like this.

Grit Dog What suc's is a state legislature (who also owns a car delership in Wichita) got legislation passed for a tax on used vehicles from private individuals. Because private individuals had a unfair advantage over dealerships.

Now when you trade a car in to a dealership they only tax you on the difference giving the dealership a unfair advantage over a private individual.

You add in almost 10 percent sales tax and personal property tax on top of a vehicle ( like a platinum Ford F-350) and your talking a heck of a lot of money in taxes.

Since I'm retired I might move to South Dakota to establish residents and travel.

Bet if you did a little checking you would find that law is part of the ALEC agenda. Yes, pro business, anti-people, but can not be blamed on any one businessman...

It was reported he introduced the legislation, it took the vote of others to make it law.

^ Holy shnikeys! So how much is the total tax in KS for a new vehicle?
10% sales PLUS PP tax? What’s the PP tax rate?
BUT, how much do you pay in real estate property tax?
Here on the lib side of the state, we’re paying about 1.4% of fair market value currently.
WI is about 1.5% of fmv. CO, NM and AZ were all .5% or less.
Few grand more once every 10 years on a new car is way less out of pocket than few grand more every year. They got to gets their money somewhere....
