Bill Summary

Relative to excise taxes on certain motor vehicles registered in the Commonwealth. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws to change the way the motor vehicle sales tax is calculated in certain cases. Specifically, it states that if a person purchased a motor vehicle while a resident of another state and registered it there for more than 6 months, or purchased a vehicle in Massachusetts more than 6 months before becoming a resident, the sales tax will be based on the Kelley Blue Book value at the time of registration in Massachusetts, rather than the original purchase price. Additionally, the bill requires vehicle dealers with certain license types to notify out-of-state purchasers that they must take delivery of the vehicle out-of-state or pay the Massachusetts sales tax at the time of sale.
