So I'm based out of California, buying a new truck and trailer in Arizona, and taking delivery of it in Nevada. The dealer has a yard in Vegas which is where I'll be picking up the new rig and trailer.
My confusion is with California sales tax. Of course when we buy new equipment we have to pay federal excise tax (FET) of 12%, which I also understand they may be doing away with in the coming year (that figures). The dealer isn't being very clear how the state taxes work. Is what I pay for California sales taxes somehow tied in with IRP or not? My sales taxes will be based on the miles I travel in each state, and if 50% or more of annual mileage is traveled in California for the next year I get a big tax bill from California at the end of the year? Sales taxes in California are around 13% which really sucks.
Input is appreciated.
Buying a new truck need some clarification
