When purchasing a vehicle, you pay sales tax based on the city or county that you live in.
A purchase is exempt (excused) from sales tax if the item/s will be re-sold. If a purchase is made for consumption (for personal use) sales tax needs to be paid.
If the items were purchased in NYS then yes you will have to pay sales tax on them when you purchase them. If you are a business who sells item purchased wholesale in NYS then you can apply for an get a Sales Tax Certificate. This means that you will not pay sales tax when you buy items wholesale but then you will have to pay sales tax on the items when you sell them at a higher price. This will also require you to file monthly reports to the Sales Tax Division and account for each item purchased for resale.
You pay sales tax in the county in which you live. For example, if you live in Cobb County, GA you will pay 6% sales tax on the purchase price.
You pay the sales tax when you register the vehicle with the county or parrish you live in.
You pay sales tax on the actual amount you pay for the item, not some infalted price the store says they are discounting from.
You pay the tax at the store. If the item is very expensive, you can ask the store to calculate the tax at your residence, but they generally won't bother unless it makes a big difference. For example, if you were buying a CAR, it would matter.
Some states don't have a sales tax. Also, certain convenience stores, rest stops, and regular food stores don't always have a sales tax. As a general rule, whether you owe a sales tax will depend upon where you purchase an item at retail plus where you are a resident. If you pay tax in one state then it can be used as a credit for the use tax in your state of residence, if you take the merchandise back with you or have it delivered to your residence. Just because a retailer doesn't collect sales taxes at the same high rate as your home state does not provide you with any exemption from owing the use tax of your resident state. You do not pay a sales tax if the item is non-taxable or if your purchase is exempt, e.g., purchase for resale, purchase by a tax-exempt organization, etc.
