Sales tax on a commercial vehicle?

that complicates it too much, I don t see why there is so much confusion, the title is a title of ownership of the vehicle and it is the domicile of the owner that matters, not the carrier.

The system is setup to allow the plates to come from any jurisdiction, becuase they are just the registration to go on the road. This is because it is a federally regulated activity, and the registration is only meant for tax collection of the domicile state be it for the carrier or the truck owner.

All the trucks I own are with my company address, in my state. We do not allow the companies provide the plates, to me that has always been a problem when I move trucks around and I do from time to time.

 

Midnight, call Washington state revenue department and ask them specifically if they have a rolling stock exemption and how it works.it is on the books and all you need is a contract to show them, not an mc number or an authority, the lease contract is the same thing as far as the state is concern, they need proof that the truck is to be used for interstate commerce,

That number is to a dealer. I don't have my contact list here, when I get back to the yard I will post another number.

 

That seems like a oversight. I'll call the authorities in the morning, they could use some extra dough

 

I would then move it to Arizona.

You are caught and don't have time to mess around, i wish I could do something but I can't other than advice.

As far as the cert is concern, I would tell the dealer that either you get one or you won't buy the truck or return it, the dealer has a lot of pull with the company.

 

There are a lot of downsides which have to do with liabilities but at this point just do it and deal with those later on.

And no some states don't even require residency.

 

I bought a truck in CA and I was trying to register in AZ. AZ ask for sale tax, so the dealer from CA delivered the truck in AZ , than I went back in CA and I registered the truck. After a year I just registered the truck in AZ , and there was no sales tax.So you should register the truck in a state were you do not have to pay sales tax.

 

Should not be paying sales tax on a truck used for interstate commerce.

I used these folks to title my truck once I paid it off. They may be a good reference source for you. http://betterweighmfg.com/permits-licensing/3744542
