#873 of 947 CA and UT by frostbyte3964 Apr 05, 2009 (2:26 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 9:17 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.

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 9:52 am)
#878 of 947 Can you correct me by frostbyte3964 Apr 05, 2009 (4:51 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 4:51 pm) Perhaps a 'phone call to Sacramento would be appropriate. They may have some silly 90 day rule.

Replying to: CalifLookieLoo (Apr 04, 2009 9:17 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 12:17 pm)

Replying to: joel0622 (Apr 06, 2009 11:28 am) 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.
#882 of 947 Sales Tax question on an old out of state car by steveonline Apr 07, 2009 (9:35 am)
I am a California resident. I bought a New York registered car that is stored in New Jersey on ebay. It is a 1965 classic car that I am having the shop fix up a little more in NJ before I bring it back to California. We are getting the parts and getting busy but it might take up to 6 months. I was wondering is there a time limit on the sales tax. Will I have to pay the higher sales tax in California now even though I bought it in February 2009.
