#872 of 975 Credit Union requirement for out-of-state purchase by CalifLookieLoo Apr 04, 2009 (10:17 pm)
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?

#873 of 975 CA and UT by frostbyte3964 Apr 05, 2009 (3:26 am)
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?

Replying to: CalifLookieLoo (Apr 04, 2009 10:17 pm) 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.

Replying to: frostbyte3964 (Apr 05, 2009 3:26 am) Check w/ the DMV websites for the states in question. Or, call them if you can't find the answer online.

Replying to: frostbyte3964 (Apr 05, 2009 3:26 am) 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.

King County is around 10% and other counties in the state are as low as 7.7%. Replies to this message: tallman1 (Apr 07, 2009 10:52 am)
#878 of 975 Can you correct me by frostbyte3964 Apr 05, 2009 (5:51 pm)
OK, so if I currently live in Utah, but am moving to California to be my primary residence then California will become my new residence by law. It looks like sales tax is less in Utah from what I have gathered. If I buy a car in Utah and have it registered, then move to Cali and reregister it, will I have to pay any tax again or just the registration?

Replying to: frostbyte3964 (Apr 05, 2009 5:51 pm) Perhaps a 'phone call to Sacramento would be appropriate. They may have some silly 90 day rule.

Replying to: CalifLookieLoo (Apr 04, 2009 10:17 pm) Tax is paid to what ever state you are registering the car in. If you live in California and will have California tags then you pay California tax. If you live in Nevada then you pay Nevada tax. No grey area at all. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Apr 06, 2009 1:17 pm)

Replying to: joel0622 (Apr 06, 2009 12:28 pm) Except... you can't take delivery in California from a dealer, without that dealer collecting California sales tax..   Like everything else in life, the answer is always: It depends..   There are almost as many rules on vehicle sales tax as there are states... Maybe more, since some states have different rules for buyers, depending on which state they live in.
