Do you pay tax on material used to repair engine in Indiana?

The general principle of the US sales tax system is that the tax is paid by the end user.If you buy materials to repair your own engine, then you pay sales tax on them.If you buy materials to repair an engine for someone else, you theoretically do not have to pay sales tax, but you would have to collect sales tax from the person you're repairing the engine for and remit that to the state. However, if when you buy the materials, you can't prove that you're a legitimate business who is buying the materials for resale, then you'll have to pay sales tax.

Do foreigners pay taxes?

Foreigners pay taxes in their own countries, and if/when they visit another country, they pay taxes in the form of sales tax (and excise tax that is built in to certain goods like gas). Yes foreigners pay tax. Example: a US citizen pays income tax on income made in another country, to that country. As does a foreigner here...who makes money here. (A German working for say BMW and in the US, pays US tax). Generally local/sales types of tax are paid also, like anyone else. However, the VAT tax, like a sales tax), is able to be refunded to foreigners who pay it for most places and things in Europe. (A US visiting there and paying it on say a hotel room may have it refunded).

Do you pay tax when you buy a car in MA?

Yes, sales or use tax of 6.25 percent on a purchase of a car in MA is generally due within either 10 days or 20 days of the purchase, with certain exceptions for sales to family members. It has NOTHING to do with license or registration.Others have said, incorrectly:Technically you pay tax when you license a car, not when you buy it. Massachusetts charges the tax for any car which you purchased less than a year ago when you first license it (even if you've already paid the tax to another state; MA's attitude is "get it back from them. you want a license from us, you pay us the tax.").Yes, you pay sales tax when you make any purchase.This ignores the fact that there is no sales tax on cars in MA that are sold to a family member.
