If the dealer is not doing that for you, you may get a rude surprise when you go to the DMV to do it yourself. euphonium makes a good point, if the dealer does not have a NYS "certificate of authority" to collect sales tax he can't do that for you. Better check before you hand over any money. NY wants their money and they don't care if you already paid to the dealer. They will demand you pay or no registration.

Replying to: jfitz2 (Sep 02, 2009 7:21 am) Sales tax is a combination of state, county, and local taxes. Atlanta is 7% (but 6% in neighboring Cobb County). Buffalo, New York is 8.75% while New York City is 8.88%. I paid more in sales tax for my present car than I paid in total for a 1963 Buick Wildcat in 1965 or a 1968 Cougar in 1970. New York also taxes rebates such as the CFC money.

Replying to: jfitz2 (Sep 02, 2009 7:21 am) In NY sales tax is collected by the state (4.25%), the county and sometimes local government. That can more than double the actual tax due. I don't know if Georgia has something similar but I doubt it. Nobody taxes like NY.

Replying to: jfitz2 (Sep 02, 2009 7:30 am) Darned if you aren't right. I checked with my contact in NYS T&F and the dealer in Georgia can take your sales tax and "pass it on" without actually "collecting" it. Funny, a NY business can't do that, hence my confusion. Just be sure you calculate it correctly for your local address as it can vary from 7% to over 9%. One more thing, if after all your due diligence you still get a bill from NY, you can file form DTF-804 with your receipt from the dealer in Georgia. |

In Aug I just bought a used car $18,019 and paid 6.25% sale tax to state ... I heard that Obama will give this a break of some kind tax deduction / credit ... how does this work?
