Bill Summary

Relative to the calculation of motor vehicle excise taxes. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the calculation of motor vehicle excise taxes by changing the percentage of the vehicle's value that is taxed each year. Currently, the tax rate decreases over time, and this bill would eliminate the excise tax entirely starting in the eighth year of a vehicle's life, meaning owners would pay no motor vehicle excise tax on vehicles that are eight years old or older. The motor vehicle excise tax is an annual tax levied by cities and towns on registered motor vehicles, typically based on the vehicle's value.
