Sales Tax Exemption

California charges their sales tax to any purchase, even out of state, unless it is physically delivered across the state line. So, you couldn't come to our lot and drive your own truck away without paying, then applying for a refund. Screwed up right? We get around that altogether by using our Nevada location for any out of state deals. It keeps the paperwork clean and easy, plus Vegas is a more exciting destination for a customer to receive a new truck compared to the suburbs of LA.

 

What did you end up finding out?

 

Do you know if this applies to lease payments on the trucks as well or only if you purchase them? I'm leasing heavy trucks from Donlen and have a PUC and MC number and feel the trucks should be PA Sales tax exempt, but want to make sure before I give them my form. Thoughts?

 

I believe it does, although I am not sure on long term leases. I am sure Donlen Financial will know if it is applicable. Reading the PA Dept. Of Revenue Form 1220 it appears to apply to rental and lease fees for motor vehicles.

 

So this covers Georgia ad vorlem tax when you’re trying to transfer a truck title?

 

Hello
I see this answer is from 2015. did anythng change? choosing option 6 in ST 5 didnt look right from description. any help is appriciated

 

The form has been revised since then. Using the current one on the DOR website (rev 07/2021), choose option 7 and put your MC number in the blank space immediately below it.

 

Call the Florida internal revenue people and ask them. I don't remember if the tax has to be paid and a refund is given or if it is just clear removal with no use or sales tax applied.

Let's play their game, I would hire any O/O to just move the trailer off the auction property, drop it somewhere just outside the fence, and take it from there. Nothing illegal with that, you are engaging a third party to remove it out of the hands of the auction house, transferring responsibility to the O/O and he is handing it off to you because you are an interstate carrier, this all fulfills the demands of the auction house.
