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.
Yes
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry no. The state of California does not care where you live normally. if you buy it here you pay state 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.
In the USA, new car sales taxes are determined and collected by each state individually. Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Oregon have no sales tax on vehicles. All the other states collect a tax which is usually based on the vehicle's price or value. State sales tax rates vary from Colorado's 2.9% to California's 7.25%
Yes, sadly, we do.
It doesn't matter if you buy a candy bar or a car in California; if you take delivery anywhere in the state (except Indian reservations) you must pay sales tax on your purchase.
Yes you have to pay sale tax in California for the used car.
the relationship b/w purchasing, marketing and sales
Sales tax should be collected when and where the vehicle is registered. Maybe MI has some weird law, but that would be different than the many states I've registered cars in.
It's not "sales tax" but there is a vehicle transfer tax on any car bought by an Illinois resident. How much is owed depends on what kind of vehicle, how much it's worth and how old it is.
