So today I went to pay the property tax on my 95 Z so I could drive it legally around my block...lol after almost a yr. I was blown away, taxes were only 10 bucks....tag 25.....lol is SC just that low on taxes. What are you guys having to pay.

 

Taxs are something we only pay when we buy the car. $36 registration every year in PA regardless of what car or its value.

 

My brother lives in S.C., and I was surprised to hear the things you pay taxes on. On the flip-side, your real estate tax rates are dirt cheap compared to mine. In the long run, I think I'd rather have your system up here. Anyway, we pay $98/year for registration/license plate renewal, I presume you pay yearly for plates over and above your "tax"?

 

Yeah I paid tax on mine when I bought my car. Lol i hope there arent any IRS agents on here cuz well I only paid tax on 30% of the value which I purchased it. I bought it for $10k but only paid the michigan sales tax of 6% on $3k

 

Wow, I didn't know you could do that, you must be the first one who every did not tell the truth about the price paid on a privatly sold car

I swear when it comes to lying to the state about what a car sold for even the little old ladies are like "Ok that is a fair price, how low can we say the deal is for without getting in trouble."

 

i pay $90 in fl and $20 in ga

 

you mean i am supposed to have licence plates,,,, what are tabs,,,,

tabs are like 35 bucks.

 

sales taxes are really are misnomer

It's more like a transaction tax in FL

buy new car for $30k, pay 1800-$2000 in sales tax

sell car in a few years for $20k, the buyer pays $1200 in sales tax in order to register

sell car a few years later for $12k, yup, buyer pays $720-$840 in sales tax

and so it goes

if the vehicle turns over several times FL could receive upwards 20%, 30% or more in sales tax for the same exact item

you can't go back and recover sales tax you paid minus resell price but I bet it would make for an interesting class action lawsuit.......but I don't think you can sue the govt

in other words, on a $30k car FL should never see more than $1800-$2000 total sales tax.

 

in sc its not based on the vehicle its based on the year i paid 8$ for my 94 my sister paid 44$ for her 01 and my bike a 00 39$ and my moms 08 420$ but theres a cap of 500$ on all vehicles even 30k$ new cars

 

Gorn, I love your old guy sarcasm lol

I am one of those young thunder cat college kids who loves big brother being huge and having all sorts of taxes cause like all college kids i love government sponsored programs and paying a large percentage of my money in taxes.
