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

EValentin1

hmmm that doesnt seem right. ive talked to many friends who have bought cars in different states (not necessairly NJ and registered in VA) and they have been reimbursed if the tax where they register the car is lower... did a quick search and found some info from NV.

"Buying A Vehicle - Out-of-State Dealer Sales
Out-of-state vehicle dealers must comply with their own state's laws regarding sales to non-residents. Ask about a movement permit and for details on how the vehicle will be titled before you buy. Be certain to read and understand the sales or lease contract before signing. An out-of-state dealer may or may not collect sales tax. The Nevada DMV will verify whatever tax was paid and charge the buyer any difference between that amount and what would have been due in Nevada. See the Nevada Department of Taxation Sales and Use Tax Publications for current tax rates. Rates vary by county.

You must register the vehicle at a DMV Full Service Office before the expiration date of any movement permit issued or 30 days maximum. Please bring all documents provided by the dealer. You must have:

Invoice or Bill of Sale, and one of the following:
Title
Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin
Security Agreement
Lease Agreement
Purchase Order
Nevada Evidence of Insurance Card
Nevada Emissions Vehicle Inspection Report if needed
VIN Inspection
Application for Vehicle Registration (VP-222)"

Straight from NV DMV site.

I guess im interpreting this as they can possibly reimburse you if the tax is lower than what they charge you in CA...?
