Smart Shopper Vehicle Sales Tax Questions

I live in Texas and I recently bought a vehicle in South Carolina. I just discovered that the check that the dealer sent to the Texas tax office is short $300. While I think this was a genuine error and will be corrected and wanted to see what are the implications of this. I have my bill of sale that shows the correct amount of the transaction and the appropriate sales tax paid on the deal. If the dealer chose not to pay the remainder, who is liable for it and can I still get my registration? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: euphonium (Jun 29, 2009 8:18 am) 7.25% State of Illinois 1.25% City of Chicago 0.75% Cook County (good luck trying to find info about this online) In addition to the tax, Crook County - no, that's not a typo - charges a flat $15 fee for new car purchases. My salesman said it's been the same amount for nearly 20 years, so somehow the county schemers have overlooked an update. Lastly, those of us in Chicago also pay an annual $120 "city sticker" fee. I know there are stickers for the other towns/villages in the county and a county sticker for those in unincorporated areas, but I don't know specific dollar amounts. When you take into consideration the high cost of gas in the city (now at $3 and above) relative to the surrounding "collar" counties and the absolutely crazy new rates for parking meters and garages, it's no wonder I went without a car for nearly 10 years. But leaving the dealership today, I was definitely enjoying that "new car" smell.
