Sales tax question

[mr__ed]

If I'm a SD resident and purchase. A new vehicle in NC, which state's sales tax do I pay? I believe it's SD. What say you? Thanks in advance.

So....are you saying that if the paperworki showed you buying and taking delivery of it in Indiana, you would have to pay full sales tax both there AND in NC ?? I guess that's possible but I really doubt it.

How exactly does taking delivery of it in Illinois make things any different ? I think Illinois has one of the highest sales taxes in the country AND I KNOW that they don't usually overlook collecting it because I lived there for about 50 years.

Make that Illinois and Indiana.....but that's not true, at least not the whole amount. Illinois would have charged you the difference when you registered it, as their tax is higher.

Don't know about NC & SD, but when I bought my rv in Indiana they drove it about 6 miles to Illinois border for delivery; otherwise I would have paid sales taxes both to NC and Indiana.

Doing it the way they did just made the paper work easier for the dealer. Likely they didn't have to collect any tax that way and you pay the full amount when getting your Illinois plates.

Not all states are reciprocal so make sure before you pay so you dont have to pay in both.

Some states have reciprocal agreements with other states. In June I purchased a new Vegas in Michigan while on a trip. Paid the Michigan sales tax. Upon returning to Washington state we paid the difference between WA and MI.

So a call to both states' DMV might be prudent. Or do as I did and go online to see what you need.

Best answer. ^^^^^^^ If you buy in Indiana and the state that you reside does not have a reciprocal agreement, you will pay the Indiana tax. I'm sure many states work the same way.

Bought my truck in NC in 2009. Paid $10.00 for temp tag. Paid sales tax in Tenn when I got home and registered the vehicle.

You will pay the 4% and licensing fees to SD.

When I purchased my vehicles in 2007, the sales tax was 3%, IIRC. I was a California resident before that. I forget what CA tax was at the time, but I think it may have been around 9%. so, I saved quite a bit on sales tax by becoming a SD resident before that major purchase.

If I were still a WA resident at the time of purchase of RV and TV the TV would have been 10% and the RV .086%. Big time difference!

Well, I called a local dealer. They confirmed that I would pay SD sales tax. Now that I remember, I bought my new fiver in WA and truck in ID. I paid SD tax on both, so I guess I was right all along in thinking I'd pay SD tax in NC. Thanks to all who answered my question...:C

Yes However I know several rv'rs that all of them took the MH to their state for the summer. Texas plate went to Oregon. Montana plate went to Indianan, Texas plate went to MInn and more.

My Michigan MH friend had the Montana deal until Michigan told him they will go after him if he doesn't buy the plates in Michigan.

I bet he took his Montana registered motorhome into Michigan, right?
THAT was a mistake!

[larry_barnhart]

I do think that is true. Now not too long ago Arizona was going to go into rv resorts to see the vehicle's sitting that have out of state plates and were going to issue a ticket because of never leaving the state. this was in the local newspaper but never heard or any body complain of it happening . This was a summer inspection, as I forgot to add.
