This depends on the laws of the two states you are dealing with. People used to try to get around paying sales tax by purchasing vehicles in states other than where they live. This has been halted in most states by requiring people to pay sales tax in the state they live in when they register the vehicle. In many states this also applies to vehicles purchased from individuals, which used to be free from sales tax as well. Usually a car dealer would not collect sales tax on a vehicle purchased by a buyer who lived outside the state where you buy it, because dealers normally do not collect tax and file reports for other states besides the one they do business in.

If you buy a car outside the state you live in do you pay tax on the state you bought it in or the state you live in?

Sales taxes are a responsibility of the state. Merchants collect the tax and pay it to the state. Laws vary from state to state on if or how much a person must pay in sales taxes for bringing a vehicle from one state to another. Some states require the person to pay the difference between sales taxes for the two states, giving the person a credit for sales tax already paid in another state. If the state the person is moving from has no sales tax for vehicles, then the person may be given a limited time to request an exemption. There are also other types of taxes such as "end use taxes" in states like New York and New Jersey which are specific to that particular state and may have to paid. It is best to check with the state's motor vehicle administration when registering the vehicle.

If I resell a product that I already paid California sales tax on do I have to pay sales tax again on the resale?

Yes and no. It depends on your situation. If you are a business, for example, and you are in construction, if you paid sales tax on lumber, you don't have to collect it from the end user. If you bought the lumber with a reseller's permit, you didn't pay taxes, so you need to collect it from the end user. If you routinely hold garage sales, you would have to collect sales tax on the items, even though they have already been taxed at purchase. Think of a vehicle in CA - it is taxed each time it changes owners, regardless of who paid the original tax.


What is the sales tax for a car in Missouri bought in another state?

In Missouri, if you purchase a car in another state and bring it back to Missouri, you are generally required to pay Missouri sales tax when you register the vehicle. The sales tax rate typically ranges from 4.225% to 8.975%, depending on the local jurisdiction. If you paid sales tax in the state where the car was purchased, you may receive a credit for that amount against the Missouri sales tax due. It's advisable to check with the Missouri Department of Revenue for the most accurate and current information.


When do you pay sales tax?

Typically sales tax is paid at the point of sale, hence the name. But depending on the state there are exceptions. If you buy goods from outside the state, and do not pay sales tax (internet sales!), you need to remit sales tax to your state. Most of the state income tax forms have a method provided for paying sales tax along with the state income tax.
