Ohio should NOT be charging you sales tax on this vehicle, that is done once you register it in your home state, Go on to your states motor vehicle site for you tax rate and registration fees.

 

here is the website for all of my states motor vehicle info. I can find anything regarding the sales tax on there. I found the title fees, and registration fees.

Alabama DMV Guide - DMV.ORG - The Unofficial Guide to the AL DMV

 

I bought two cars in Ohio and registered them in a different state, and I did not pay tax to the dealer either time. I had to pay at the DMV when I registered them. It may be the same as the standard sales tax rate.

Thats what i was hoping for. I have heard different amounts for our new vehicle sales tax rates in this state. Ive heard 2.5 and 3% but i dont know which if either is correct. I know its not our standard sales tax rate, because in my area that is like 8.5%

i just wanted to find an exact number so i could see for myself

 

i think i just found it. If so its only 2%

heres the link ADOR - State Tax Rates

 

Wow! Florida is 6.5% (my county has a .5% tax) to the first 5,000 then 6.0% of the rest!

 

We pay the taxes when we get tags here in OK. I called yesterday, and they gave me the number off of the purchase price of the car. I think it was around 1600 for everything, dunno how that compares elsewhere though.

 

2580 on 43000 @ 6% Ouch! I also hate the idea of paying tax on the gas guzzler tax!

 

Yeah, that sucks. I did that on my Shelby. I wonder if there's some way around that. You shouldn't have to pay tax on a tax.

 

425, I know you're going through Bob Frederick just like I am. I'm in a similar situation (I'm in Michigan, Bob Frederick is in Ohio). This is what he shared with me on one of my initial emails to him.

The price will be at MSRP plus Temporary Registration/Title and Ohio Doc Fee(Which will total about $275.00). We will also collect Michigan Sales Tax.

You'll want to check with Bob but I'm guessing it's the same for you. Bob will be collecting Michigan Sales tax from me and then I assume I get some sort of "proof of payment" of sales tax to bring to the state to show I paid. I'm guessing Bob's dealership in some fashion passes that along to Michigan.

I've bought trucks and cars out of state several times in several states and I've had them add my home state sales tax into the financing and they gave me a check for the tax and tempory reg. to get home then I registered and paid sales tax in my home town with their check.:bigthumb:

 

I'm a canuck so can't be sure about the differences between states, but usually in canada or between canada and the US when you buy something *IF* the seller makes you pay the tax then when you get home and have to pay your own tax you can contact the tax agency in the state/province where you bought the item and prove you paid tax in your home province/state/country and you can get it back from them.

Its a pain and you're out money for a while but I think thats the worst case scenario. You normally would only pay tax where you live or finally register the vehicle.


and 425. 2%???????? thats SICK!!! its 10% here. can I come live with you? LOL
