I think your VAT is much more than our sales taxes which run about 6-8%??? On a RV, we don't pay a standard sales tax, it is a fee added to register/license/title it and varies with the state you title/license it.

What state are you in? Every state I've bought a car or RV has charged sales tax along with a license and registration fee. There are a few states that do not have a state sales tax but federal still wants their cut!
You are right "sales tax" is a state collected tax that varies state to state and is a one time tax paid at time of purchase. Some cities even collect sales tax.
States also charge license and registration fees and some charge an additional "property tax" collected annually. In Arizona, it's called a "vehicle license tax." This also varies by state.
But I think you are misunderstanding something as there is no federal sales or property tax.
