What sales tax on autos purchased in Il when you live in Fl?

Florida is going to want you to pay the sales tax in Florida (and, of course, Illinois is going to want you to pay the sales tax in Illinois). If you immediately register the car in Florida, you are going to have to pay sales tax there (and can probably get out of paying it in Illinois). If you register it in Illinois first, then you'll probably have to pay tax in both locations. The only state I definitively know the rules for is Massachusetts, where you must pay sales tax on any car you have owned for less than a year when you first register it there. They tried to make me pay sales tax on my car in MA when I moved there since I was registering it in February 1992 and had purchased it in February 1991, but fortunately the specific dates of purchase showed I'd owned it for 367 days, and I got out of paying the sales tax.

You pay the sales tax for the state in which you're going to register your car.


Do you have to pay Florida sales tax if you are a resident of another state purchasing a used car in Florida?

The answer is - it depends, but the answer is somewhat complicated. If you have the car shipped directly from the dealer to your home state, then no Florida sales tax applies. Let's presume you are driving the car off the lot yourself. Florida will charge you sales tax on this purchase, but if the right paperwork is filled out (Form DR-123), then the sales tax rate will only be as high your home state sale tax rate (with a ceiling of the Florida sales tax rate). So if you live in a state with a 3% sales tax, the Florida dealer should only charge you a 3% sales tax if you sign the right forms. Any sales tax you pay in Florida can be credited to the taxes that are due when you get your tag in your home state. Worthy of note, if your state has a zero sales tax rate on cars (such as Montana or Georgia), then the dealer does not have to charge you Florida sales tax.

You bought a car from a private seller in fl and paid the fl sales tax for a temporary tag. As a resident of ga you find that you need not pay the sales tax on the used car. Can I get my money back?

Sales tax is collected in the jurisdiction where the sale takes place. You purchased the car in Florida, so sales tax is due in Florida. More information: http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/taxes/sales_tax.html
