    You cannot register a car in New York without living there to avoid paying sales tax in the state you live in. Most states require you to pay sales tax based on your residency and where the vehicle will be primarily used.

    Fine. Do it in indiana. We don’t here. I don’t need to try to find loopholes when A) they already exist and B) lawmakers are upset about it and are trying to close them.

        Did you read the article I pasted? Can you explain why lawmakers are worried about this problem if laws already take care of it?

          I see no pasted article link in this conversation thread.

          And the reason why people are talking about it is because the fed is proposing tariffs on these cars, In addition to whatever state tax.

          Let’s that the car is $10k imported. The fed charges a 100% tariff (suggested by Biden actually) so that gets passed to the consumer. Now the car is $20k, plus whatever sales tax you pay locally.

          The reason people are talking about it is because this only benefits the local car manufacturers who won’t make a cheap car.
