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.

Shop without paying sales tax in US?
No, in most states you are required to pay sales or use taxes on your purchases based upon where you live, not on where you buy things. If an item is tax-exempt where you live, and you purchase by phone, mail, online or by traveling out of state to buy it and bring it back, then it is tax-exempt in your home state.However, regardless of where you buy something, if it is taxable in your state of residence and you bring it into that state or have it delivered in that state, then you still owe sales and use tax on that purchase, just as if you had purchased it from a local retailer. Some states make it easy to comply with this requirement by allowing you to file an annual return and sales and use tax payment with your annual income taxes. Other states require you to pay the sales and use taxes within a very short time of your out-of-state purchase.Failure to pay sales or use taxes on things you bought out of state is a form of tax evasion, which is a crime.
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.

Is there sales tax to consumer on Gasoline?
If you live in the US, then yes.The United States federal excise tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents per gallon and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel fuel. On average, as of January 2015, state and local taxes add 30.1 cents to gasoline and 30.1 cents to diesel, for a total US average fuel tax of 48.5 cents per gallon for gas and 54.5 cents per gallon for diesel.---------------------------------------------The answer above is wrong (and probably a cut and paste from an online encyclopedia, as I edited out footnote reference numbers and the original answer did not include any footnotes).The US Federal excise on Gasoline as a motor fuel for use in vehicles driven on public highways is NOT a sales tax. The money collected by a sales tax goes into the General Fund and can be used for any purpose, the money collected by this excise tax goes into a special Federal Highway fund and by law can only be used for highway construction or highway maintenance purposes. Also this excise tax is not charged on all gasoline sold to consumers as a sales tax would be: consumers that buy gasoline for nonmotor vehicle uses (e.g. Coleman lanterns and camp stoves) or for use in motor vehicles that do not use public highways (e.g. farm machinery), the gasoline they buy is exempt from this excise tax. Some people do not know that gasoline lawn mowers also qualify for the purchase of gasoline without the payment of this excise tax, and just buy the same gas as they do for their cars.The only time there is a sales tax on gasoline purchases is when the gasoline is purchased within the jurisdiction of a state, county, or municipality that charges sales tax, and this sales tax is identical to the sales tax on all other purchases made in that jurisdiction.Here in Montana there is no sales tax and never has been a sales tax, so consumers pay no sales tax on gasoline.
