Vehicle tax is normally payed to the county tax assessors office. When the vehicle is titled and registered the county will collect sales tax. If EM collects the tax they will collect at your counties rate and forward it to them.
Since you can't tax sales from another state, States usually call it something else and then offer an offset for sales tax paid to their own state. The effect is the same, but the technicality is required. Perhaps a vehicle tax or registration tax for previously unregistered vehicles?

Taxes would include Federal and state tax would it not?
If purchased out of state, some states may allow a refund of the Stste Tax but all must Pay tge Federal Tax portion, I believe.

I've never heard of a federal sales tax. As far as I know, that is the one tax that is purely state and local.
Some alternative taxes to sales tax from vehicles purchases out of state may offer credit for sales taxes paid to those states. States generally do not want undue tax burdons, but do attempt to close loopholes they believe to be tax avoidance schemes.

What I meant by Federal Tax is the portion refered to as Country Tax that some states are required to collect. Some states also collect City or munipal taxes.
So I wouls think that it would be best to check with the Vehicle registration people to see what taxes would need to be paid and if Elio was purchased out of State to be used in another state if one would be entitled to a refund.
Most people buy vehicles within the state they live in but I am sure that some travel out of state to buy them especially if they live near a neighboring state that charges lower taxes.
But what do I know since I am Canadian?
Actually I lived in Grand Forks,ND for 8 years and did most of my buying across tge River in East Grand Forks which is in Minnesota.

I think you misunderstood the County Tax which is a local tax except in Louisiana where it is called a Parish Tax. There is no Federal (Country) sales tax that I'm aware of.
Now I've never imported a car, so there might be some Federal tax or tariff there. But most cars have a US based subsidiary which has done the import legwork already.
Okay ... I am a PA resident. If I swing down to MD and buy a car the dealer won't charge me any MD related taxes or fees. He will simply do the paperwork for the PA taxes and registration and get me temporary plates.
You won't get double taxed. And most of you should be thankful because LA sales tax is like 9% or some crazy and I am willing the bet they use the percentage of vehicle value to determine registration fees.

I'm sure you're correct for most jurisdictions, but I was once charged a city income tax (Big Rapids) on work I was doing while living outside the City (Mecosta County), working outside the City (worked in Reed City) for a company based out of state (Washington State) because the accountant cut my check in the City.
Never underestimate the greed of local municipalities.

Tax gets paid in the state where you get your tags.
