No... the lessor doesn't pay the sales tax in advance in California, even though they purchase the car.. Since they aren't the end user, they don't pay the tax.
 
The tax is collected monthly on the rental of the car. When the tax rate goes up, the lease payment will reflect that.
 
Of course, other states that do collect the tax upfront will have different rules.

Sales Tax on Disposition Fee and Mileage Overage? by spingrinder

Sorry if this has been asked before - searched and could not find anything.
 
I'm in California - Wells Fargo lease is sticking me with a disposition (turn in) fee and I have some mileage overage. They are also claiming that they are required to add sales tax on both the disposition fee and the mileage fee. Anyone know if that is correct?
 
Thanks.

Any money paid on a lease that doesn't go directly to the government (title/registration fees,etc) is usually taxable.
 
This includes money paid upfront, and on the back end...

Credit Union requirement for out-of-state purchase by CalifLookieLoo

I'm in California, thinking about buying a car in Nevada. My CU is financing my loan, and states that I am NOT to pay the sales tax or registration fee in Nevada, that they will pay it here. They want the contract faxed to them, and the title to be given to me and driven over to the CU on my way back into town. Why would Nevada allow a car to be purchased in Nevada and let California earn the sales tax?
It just makes no sense to me. Is this just a simple matter of residency?
 
I haven't heard back from the Nevada salesman for 2 days - wondering if the "don't pay sales tax in Nevada" my CU has imposed has stalled the deal?

Is the tax info on states listed anywhere easy to find? I have a residence in UT and looking at getting another in CA soon. Then when buying a car, which would be best to buy in, CA or UT?

Nevada law will govern the transaction,not your credit union.
If there is a provision for not collecting tax in Nevada then you are ok.

Check w/ the DMV websites for the states in question.
Or, call them if you can't find the answer online.

You can have one Primary residence. you know the address that is on your IRS return.
 
You can have as many Secondary residences as you want, but your Primary residence determines where you pay the ST.

In WA - the point of purchase determines the rate. King County is around 10% and other counties in the state are as low as 7.7%.
