Tax Question For Registration To Dmv

[brian34220]

Hi all Thank you for helping me a lot... Thank you..

but have question.
I know Elio factory in AZ. but I am in CA. it could be $6,800 plus tax with AZ tax rate and do I have to registration with AZ state and transfer to CA? or registration with CA? and have to pay again Tax with CA?
Dose anyone know about this?

Factory is in Shreveport, La. and corporate offices are in Phoenix, Az. As to taxes if memory serves me right you will only pay taxes in Ca when you register it.

Hmmm....when I bought a used RV in FL I had to pay FL taxes to register. Then when I re-registered in VA I had to pay VA taxes minus the FL taxes. Now if CA and LA don't reciprocate then you'd have to pay both otherwise you'd pay the total of whichever has the higher taxes. I'd presume that CA has much higher taxes than LA so your situation will be much like mine will be if I can make arrangements to take delivery at factory. I will most likely pay the delivery fee before I make things too difficult for myself.

I've purchased 2 vehicles from dealerships outside my State and several new vehicles from local dealers. Taxes were always paid within 30 days (by State Law) after purchase at the County Courthouse when registering and licensing the vehicle. Different % rates for new and used vehicles at least in South Dakota.

Call your County Treasurer's Office to verify your local licensing and registration requirements.

This is not exactly what you are asking about, but I will post it anyway.

I recently sent an email to Elio Motors. I am posting the question and reply. I live in California but I suspect it will be the same in all states. I also suspect this has been covered before. If not:

QUESTION:
Who will take care of obtaining title and registration for my Elio? Normally this is done for the purchaser by the dealership, whether it is a car or motorcycle.
I talked to someone who purchased a Tesla and they said Tesla took complete care of these. They received their title in the mail and the temporary registration accompanied the car.
Will Elio do the same, or will I be given a certificate of origin and have to go to DMV myself and arrange title and registration.

ANSWER:
We will take care of obtaining title and registration for your Elio, so no worries!

When I bought a car in Georgia, at a dealership, on the sale it had Tennesse sales tax, and the Knox county wheel tax. Makes it tough for businesses to cover everything for where the item calling home. Had a temporary tag. The Tennssee tag arrived in the mail about 2 weeks.

Thank you for reply, I could think 3 things as below


1, Elio Motor handle everything's with State wherever customer lives in
( DMV send license plate to Elio motor? or my home? How long it will take? any typo on Doc's who will response? )

2, Customer paid what ever high tax rate between both State, like LA state and CA state ( which is me to CA more higher than LA )
(example: LA has 7% and CA has 9% than I need to paid 2% more when I registered at DMV in CA or paid in full at DMV in CA )

3, Elio Motor just distribute Car and Documents to registration for each State to Customers lives in
( Do registration by myself, that means don't have to paid a Tax in LA ?)

#2 only applies to used vehicles.

in NC with RV's .... the selling dealer collects applicable NC state / local sales taxes ..... buyer provides proof of insurance .... title transferred to loan company .... issues a 30 day temporary tag .... owner is responsible for handling the registration in their state and is responsible for all taxes and fees (note: sales tax is only collected in the state of the sale)

 

[Gizmo]

Is that for new RV's too?
