Yes
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.
Yes, you would pay California tax if you bring the car into the state within a year of having purchased it anywhere else.
Sorry no. The state of California does not care where you live normally. if you buy it here you pay state sales tax.
you pay tax for the state in which you will be registering it.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
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!
Yes, unless you are buying it for resale, then you must provide a tax exempt number from your business.
In California you will pay the saled tax when you register it.
Texas.
Yes you do. Just because you are a resident of Alaska does not make you exempt from any kind of sales tax. If you go to another city, state, country, or whatever, you MUST abide by their laws. If California has sales tax, then you must pay it if you want to shop there. However, shopping in Seattle, Alaska residents do not have to pay their sales tax if you let the clerk know you are an Alaska resident, show your valid ID, and fill out a form giving your name, driver's license number, and contact information.
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.
Yes, sadly, we do.
