Are you sure about that? Ultimately, the customer is responsible for paying the sales tax and the vendor's role is to collect the tax and transmit it to the state. In this case, the vendor (apparently) received full payment of the sales tax from the customer but failed to transmit the full amount to the state. The customer is still liable but the vendor absolutely owes the difference to the customer.

Yes, if the customer can prove they paid the full amount to the dealer, it is up to the dealer to transmit that full amount to the state. If the customer didn't pay the full amount,then the dealer can request the missing money form the customer.
Hopefully for this customer,the amount listed on his contract is the correct amount.

Either way, the dealership has to be registered as a vendor in the state and if it's not remitting the full sales tax then they could be in trouble. It would be in the dealership's best interest to properly dispatch the matter promptly.

you pay the sales tax based on the address where the car is registered, not where it's purchased.
 
In WA, you pay the sales tax based on the address of where it's purchased.
 
Your rule makes more sense.

So the issue has been resolved. The dealer sent $300 to the South Carolina tax office. I found out that South Carolina has a cap on auto sales tax of $300. They just forgot to indicate that on the form they sent to the TX DMV. They are correcting the issue. Thanks to all for your input.

For anyone getting ready to register a new car in Chicago, this is what I learned when I bought my new Subaru today: expect to pay 9.25% in sales tax. This is the breakdown:
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.

Congrats on the NC!
I figured there had to be some local tax that wasn't being disclosed.

I'm a little late here, but to further clarify... if you purchase a vehicle out of state and register it in WA, you pay the sales tax rate of the county in which you register the vehicle. That didn't make sense to me but it is what I did. Saved me some cash too.
