Buying a boat without sales tax?

Nope... It's called a sales and USE tax for a reason... if you use your boat in a state that has a sales tax btu you bought it in one without OR with a smaller one.. most have the ablility to tax you on the diff. Florida is the worst... if you come to a boat show, you have 2 weeks after the last work is done to get her out of FL. If you move here from SC you pay the full tax... No experience, but I've read on a boat forum (Carolina Skiff) that if you have the seller invoice the outboard motor separately, when you drag it all down to Florida you only pay tax on the boat, and maybe the trailer. With some of the outboards costing 10k plus, that saves a chunk of change. --Vic |

I bought a boat in Florida and I had 90 days to get her shipped before sales tax was going to be charged.. |

When I buy a car I pay something like 8% or if it's a gift or a damaged vehicle or you phoney up the bill of sale you still pay some arbitrary made up blue book value the state institutes and which is not insignificant. On a $100k boat this is $8000. Something tells me rich people don't pay this. So what's the scam? Foreign registry or forming your own corporation or what? Sorry to be so clueless. Thanks for your time. Ask any yacht brokerage in Portland how to do it. They specialise in sales to WA residents, Ironhorse, AH#130, HSB#96, SENS BS#187 2001 Ultraclassic with Sidecar 96 Custom bucket of bolts (gone but not forgotten) Republicans think every day is 4th of July Democrats think every day is April 15th Ronald Reagan |

There is a Canadian boat in our marina in New York that has never registered locally. Never goes to Canada either. Been there for years. What's amusing is the marina is city owned and operated. I bet the taxes are higher in Canada, and the enforcement stricter, which is why the boat has been sitting in NY. Matt O. |

PS.. just one more reason to leave the USA. The country I once knew ..?
It does not exist. And I'm sure plenty of people would be glad to see you leave. But given your laziness that won't happen, and we'll be stuck seeing your lame-ass posts in the newsgroups. |

This may not help you, but it may help others. Here in the northeast, I live in MA (5% sales tax). I purchased a boat from a dealer in CT (6%). I keep the boat in RI (NO SALES TAX on boat purchases). ... In the course of your research, did you look into how NH taxes boats? Also, did you look at how used boat sales are taxed in the NE states?

No chuck, I didn't. I was only interested in MA, CT, and RI.
