Sales Tax

Yes, that is included in the final cost of the car. Registration is paid to the state and any fees that goes with it. So, you don't pay the license to the dealer, but the state.

6.25%

Robert bought a used automobile for 1500 , if the sale tax is 15 percent what will be the total Robert have to pay for the automobile/

$50 plus tax... would mean you pay $50, plus whatever sales tax is charged. So yes, taxes will be included in the final price, which will be more than $50.

No

You would have to pay 6.25% of the "fair market value". You can look up the current value on NADA's website.

Laws of each state vary. You have to check with the DMV in the state you live in. Buying anything in this day and age constitutes having to pay taxes. The only question is would be who do you pay the taxes to.

It depends on how long you own the car. Texas doesn't want people buying cars in other states and losing out on sales tax, so if you recently bought the car in another state you will still pay the difference in tax to Texas. Just make sure you have a receipt from previous State showing the tax you already paid and make sure that State has a reciprocal agreement with Texas regarding the sales tax. Not all States do. I believe the time frame is 6 months. Meaning, if you had the car registered for 6 months or more in another state, you won't pay additional sales tax.

Generally, Food isn't taxed, but meals are. But the lines may be hard to understand. Sometimes it's just more how it's provided than what it is. It gets crazy, and is absolutely true that a prepared sandwich sitting in the cooler at the deli at your local grocer isn't taxed (it's considered food), but ask for that exact same thing at the deli counter and have it made, and it is! And buy 1 bagel and it's taxable (meal) more than 6 and it's not taxed as food. Candy is taxable...but sometimes it is a food....the lines get murky. (Marshmellow is candy, marshmellow as a pie filling is a food). I can go on & on with this one.....but you get the idea. The retailer normally knows how he has to do it....and there really isn't any reason for him to mess around...the way his responsibility and audits/checks by the State on this go...if he is wrong...it costs him. (If he charges tax when he shouldn't he still owes it, and if he doesn't charge tax when he should, he owes it).

In many states including Virginia, you do not pay simple "SALES TAX" when you by a car. There is a special TAX, usually less, called USE TAX which is charged against the sale of the car.

One viewpoint on this concept of "USE tax" is that you shouldn't have to pay SALES tax on things that incur a yearly property tax, like a home.

This "SALES tax on cars" behavior is known as double-dipping and many states do it; and is viewed as a despicable practice.

If you plan on registering the vehicle in OR, then no. You will be issued a "trip permit," which acts as temporary registration until you return to OR.

Pigovian taxes are aimed at correcting the effects of a negative externality. Such taxes can reduce negative externalities at a lower cost than regulations because the tax places a price on a negative externality.

yes you will pay sales tax when you transfer the title at your county's admin. building.

As of 2012 it is 6.25 percent, but there are numerous exemptions.

7% at the time of this post. 'Sources and related links' below has the current rate.

The current total local sales tax rate in Scottsdale, AZ is 7.95%

Illinois. You pay the sales tax levied by the jurisdiction you purchase the vehicle in. As an example, if you buy a loaf of bread in Illinois, then eat it in Ohio, you still pay the Illinois sales tax.

You will pay the sales tax in Missouri. However, Kansas may charge a "use tax" (equal to the sales tax) for items brought in from out-of-state.

This is common among all the states; when you file your state income tax, you must declare items purchased from out-of-state and pay the tax.

This depends on which state you are registering the car. All states have different tax rates.

The discount must be calculated first to get the base price of the item, then the tax percentage would be taken into consideration, otherwise you would be charging additional tax on an item which should be discounted in the first place.

If you were to calculate tax first then the discount price, your total would be incorrect.

In almost every situation when a car or other TITLED objected transfers owners where a 'transaction' has been made, there is a sales tax to be paid by the purchaser in most cases depending on the 'deal' you've set up.

It is NOT the seller's responsibility as far as I've ever seen in my life.

But in not every case does one sell a car either. There are "Arms Length Sales" made where a family member gives something to another. I am pretty sure it must be a family member but NOT 100%. Also, when a family member you can give up to, at least in the state of Ohio, consult you local library or do a search online for your state and find out what the amount of a 'gift' you can give to someone.

It's best not to fudge with this amount even though sometimes you want to do someone a solid and help out, you have to make sure when you DO sell the car, you don't lowball (too much), the price you sold for as it does need to somewhat conform with what might be considered the 'fair market value' of the car or object in question.

In short. The buyer almost always has to pay sales tax when the transfer of title goes through in your transaction.

Good Care!

Sales tax on vehicles in MA is 6.25 percent of the purchase price. If bought from a dealer, the trade-in value of your older car can be deducted from the price. If bought from a private seller, the value would be based upon blue-book, regardless of what you two agreed was the value.

It was 6.5% at the time of this post. See 'Sources and related links' below for the latest rate.
