Do you pay sales tax on a used mobile home in Pennsylvania?
If you buy a used mobile home from the owner, the lender financing the home with a mortgage or personal property loan normally sees that the sales taxes are paid. However, if you are paying cash for the mobile home instead of financing the purchase, you are responsible for paying sales tax when ownership of the mobile home is transferred to your name. Usually, sales tax is assessed and collected when you register the home with the motor vehicle agency inyour state.
you pay use tax when you eventually register it in washington.... DMV will collect the fee... if you paid sales tax elsewhere, you will get credit for taxes already paid (difference between sales tax paid and WA use tax). the use tax is the same as sales tax. there is a 0.3% motor vehicle tax as well. I think the only exemption is if you bought the car 6 months before you moved to the state (you must show proof you were not a resident of WA at the time of purchase and the vehicle was registered continuously out of state until you moved) they have cracked down on people parking cars in Oregon for several months prior to registering in WA to avoid the tax. doing that is illegal. By law if you are a resident of WA at the time you purchased the car and it is intended to be used in WA you must pay the tax... now if you are a student or other worker temporarily relocated and can prove you were living out of state for 6 mos while you owned the vehicle I think you may be exempted. call DMV to verify...

When do you not pay sales tax?
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.

What states charge sales tax on labor?
To the degree it is a component of a product, they all do in some way, even if you try charging it seperatley. (So selling most taxable items and charging X for it and Y for labor on it does not always work). Where the lines are drawn changes fom state to state, and probably from what you define as labor too. It has become very popular in recent years to make "professional services", say accounting fees or engineering service taxable...that seems like labor to me.
