Bill Summary

For legislation relative to sales of motor vehicles. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 4 of Chapter 64I of the General Laws by changing the language used to determine the sales price of a motor vehicle for tax purposes. The key provision is that the sales price will be the actual amount paid by the purchaser to the vendor, as documented by a notarized bill of sale. If a notarized bill of sale is not provided, the sales price will be determined by the clean trade-in value of the motor vehicle. This change aims to provide a more accurate method for calculating the sales tax owed on motor vehicle purchases.
