Do you pay sales tax if you buy a car in California with a Oregon driver license?

Answer I'm not American but I would assume that tax laws in the States are the same as in Canada where I live. It doesn't matter what state you buy your car in, if you have a license from another state, you will still have to pay whatever taxes there are in the State where you purchase your car. There must be Automible Associations right across America, why not contact one of them and ask your question, they would be best to advise you on taxes or for that matter contact by email California Tax information regarding the purchases of cars. You shouldn't have a hard time finding that on the net.

Does Washington have sales tax?
Yes, but if you have a driver's license from Oregon or Montana and show it to them at the register, they will not charge you the tax.
You are an Oregon resident going to California on vacation. Can you show your Oregon drivers license and get the sales tax waived like they will in Washington state?
Sorry no. The state of California does not care where you live normally. if you buy it here you pay state sales tax.
If you live in California but order products from an Oregon Company do you pay California sales tax to the company in Oregon?
No. You only pay sales tax if it's a California company in this case.
Would you be required to pay California sales tax on a new car purchase if you are a Utah resident?
No.California might try to force you to, but you are technically required only to pay the sales tax of the state in which you are a resident.This is a common issue on the Washington-Oregon border. Washington has no income tax. Oregon has no sales tax. Washington residents near the border often make "big ticket" (furniture, cars, etc.) purchases in Oregon to avoid Washington sales tax. Washington sales tax agents hang out in the parking lots of Oregon furniture stores looking for Washington license tags.GOTCHA!

You are a Oregon resident buying a car in Washington Do you owe Washington sales tax?
No. However, be sure to have proof of Oregon residency (a drivers' license should do) when buying the car so the dealership can prove that you were not required to pay sales tax.
You are a California resident buying a car in Oregon can you register it in Oregon and then transfer to ca to avoid sales tax if yes how?
I only know about Oregon law and you won't be able to register the vehicle with the Oregon DMV unless you can find someone with an Oregon address to assist you in lying about your residency. I don't think it will help you anyhow. You could get fined in California for not having your car properly registered in California and we all know California needs money right now! Plus it depends on how California goes about collecting it's sales tax, so there may be no getting around it. A lot of states ask for a sales receipt even if you bring it in from out of state. Maybe someone who knows California law can give you an answer from that perspective.
You purchased a pickup truck on June 28 2007 in Oregon and used it there for 6 months and are now a California resident and need to transfer title to California Do you have to pay sales tax?
Probably not. You paid sales tax in Oregon when the car was purchased. When moving to California you didn't have to pay sales tax on all your other possessions, did you? You'll probably have to pay a tax on the car's value when registering it in CA. Probably not. You paid sales tax in Oregon when the car was purchased.

I'm a Oregon resident buying a car in California Do I owe California sales tax?
I just called the California DMV and asked this same question. To avoid the CA sales tax you need to either; 1. Flat bed the vehicle out of California and then register it in Oregon or 2. Have the dealer deliver it to you out of the state of California. (I'm thinking of having it delivered just across the border in Ashland.) Essentially, you can not operate the vehicle in California before it gets registered in Oregon. When I asked this question of auto dealerships they were totally confused. You will need to educate them . . . lol.
