Out-of-State car purchasers pay tax twice?!

Spooler · 07-17-2016, 05:01 PM

I just bought a car in Illinois and had it shipped to me in Ga. When I took my paperwork to the tag office, I paid the tax on the car then. After the tax was paid, I was able to register the car in Ga. Since the car was used, I was taxed on the Ga value, not what I paid.

I live in Michigan. Flew to Minneapolis and bought 2016 ZSport.

No taxes.

Got the title in mail. Went to MI Secretary of State to register car and get plate.

Had to pay purchase tax $1600. Then got new MI title upon transfer and registering.

I bought my C4 in IL and had it shipped. IL charged me 6.25% and when I registered in CA CA charged me the difference up to 9.25%
