US state tax exemption?
« on: October 16, 2007, 12:43:02 am »
I read that if you buy and title a US car in the name of a relative or friend who lives in a different state, the dealer can fill out a form so that you don't have to pay state tax at the time of purchase, as state tax is payable only in the state of registration, which won't be happening since you'd be exporting it instead. Is this true, and if so what's the name of the form?

Surely if you buy it for ANY out of state address including a Canadian one you would not pay state tax... you would have to get a transit permit or use a trailer to move it of course.

Just curious if anyone's done this and can confirm. If a dealer is not used to dealing with out of state purchases they may refuse to forgo taxes. I know there's a law that if a business has a property or outlet in the buyer's own state, then it still has to charge taxes, but I would assume that that most dealers reside in their own state alone.
