Do I still pay NY tax even though car won't even touch anywhere near NY?

Or get away with 0% Oregon sales tax?

Any wise word would be appreciated.

Sorry for OT but I know rennlisters are knowledgable on all these little tricks.

If you bought a car, in Oregon, and will be spending time there; i do not see why you would register and pay in NY

Ascend

my point...

but will I need an address in Oregon?

You will pay taxes where you’re a resident. I live in GA and NY, but I’m a GA resident so my cars are purchased in GA, and I used to keep a car in NY with GA plates. If I purchased a car in NY I would pay GA taxes. Doesn’t matter where the car stored that’s why they ask for your license at purchase.

Resident of NY and concerned about Taxes?

If you are asking how you can find a loop hole; you are on your own.

But, if you are residing some time in Oregon, and have an address there(which i believe you will need) then I think, legally, you can register and pay taxes there.

I think this thread will get interesting...

yes he needs an address and license proof of residence

live in Manhattan and yes many are concerned about taxes, and live in FL for 6 months plus one day (:

To my knowledge you will pay sales tax to the state you register the car in.

I live in NY and have a place in NJ. My car stays in NJ garaged most of the time. NJ law the car gets registered in NJ. It so happens NJ vehicle sales taxes are 2% less than NY.

I would assume if the car stays in Oregon it’s at an address?

As others have said, where do you intend to register the car?

That’s an OR plate on my car...

nice plate and all but that car!

So what if one lives in Oregon, buys car in NY and store in NY. Now he pays 0% sales tax since he's a resident there? vs. 8.75% NY tax. Seems like govt always wants more of the two.

Listen to this, there is good advice here.

tjg81296

quite the opposite. If you register the car in NY you will pay NY sales tax. If you register it in Oregon you'll pay Oregon sales tax.

lives in OR and buys car there and stores in NY all legal. The key is residency and your drivers licenses. I use a GA license vs NY, and use to keep a car in NY with GA plates. I get pulled over I show my GA license with my GA address no issues. Also GA will let my bypass smog check in GA as the car is in NY for work. Never a problem.

now if in NY for 6 months plus one day you have a problem because you’re now a legal NY residents. I’ve had this fight twice with NY and won both times as it’s legit. 51% of people win residency in NY, and they will audit the crap out of you. Not worth it if you’re cheating.
