I'm looking at a trailer in OK. I'm in TN. Ad says OK state sales tax will be applied. I wasn't thinking I had to pay this before when I bought my first trailer out of MN. I may just not remember.
Does this sound right? Is this a thing only in certain states? I was thinking taxes were paid locally when I tagged it.
This is not a new trailer, it's a couple years old.

I know OK has a rolling stock exemption on Rail cars and such but you will have to call there and ask if this also applies to interstate carriers buying rolling stock for use in interstate commerce.
By the way, this should be uniform across the country, no one should pay any sales tax for rolling stock.Bean Jr., Siinman, wis bang and 1 other person Thank this. -
In Michigan. sales tax is collected on every vehicle sold that is titled within the state. New and used every time it’s transferred to a new owner. The only exception is a sale between immediate family members.
Not sure about Ok.Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
In Michigan everything you buy for an interstate trucking company is tax exempt (rolling stock). Trucks, trailers, parts, oil, whatever elseGoodysnap, Bean Jr., Siinman and 1 other person Thank this. -

I’ve only Ever paid sales tax to the state I registered it in…
If you have to..get all info title transfer etc electronically
Go to dmv register get a tag
You’ll have receipts of sales tax etc paid -
I talked to Ritchie Bros. earlier and apparently it is correct. I will pay it at sale or back in my home state when I register. I will double check this of course but that's what the Ritchie person said. -
I really don’t think you will pay Oklahoma sales tax on it..probably something lost in translation. -
