#1078 of 1081 Private Auto Sales Tax in Georgia by pefred

Jan 07, 2013 (2:24 pm)

In 2012, the GA Legislature passed a bill, a part of which eliminated a really great part that stated that, and I paraphrase here, "people who buy used cars from individuals do not have to pay sales tax". The new law treats individual and dealer purchases the same. However, although the law was effective on 01/01/13, portions of the law don't go into effect until 03/01/13. However, I have not been able to figure out if the individual used car sales tax portion went into effect on January 1, or goes into effect on March 1.
 
So, here's my question for anybody who knows the new law. I'm planning on selling one of my cars between now January 7 and March 1 on AutoTrader as an individual. If I sell the care prior to 03/01/13, does the buyer have to pay any sales tax. Any help would be appreciated.

#1080 of 1081 MN resident purchasing car in Glendale AZ where/how do I pay tax by cp9974

Mar 01, 2013 (5:46 pm)

I have searched the web extensively and these forums but I can't find a definitive answer regarding purchasing in AZ as an out-of-state resident driving it back to my MN where I reside. I have actually read conflicting things about AZ in particular.
 
The dealership quoted me with a city tax.
 
Can someone please advise?
Thanks.

Here is the info on the topic on the Arizona Dept of Revenue site-

If it becomes too much of a nightmare, is it absolutely essential that you buy the car in AZ? Or can you return to MN and buy it instead?
