Taxes on vehicles in Texas

[TexAndy]

Looking at my invoice for the latest deuce, I misread it and thought they were applying vehicle tax. Which is a no-no.

But that got me curious. Turns out, they DID apply Texas sales tax of [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-2]$106.36 [SIZE=-2](8.1250%) [/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT]to a deuce I bought out of Ft. Sam back in July of 2009.

And you know what? Dammit, I want my $106 back.

How should I go about this?

GOOD LUCK! That is a matter between you and GL, the Tax Assessor/Collector for you county will take NO pity on your over taxation issues. Ask me how I know...

Maybe I should just let it ride for a couple of years.

Then I can demand it back adjusted for inflation and finally become a millionaire.

You will not get it back, period. I fought that battle already for $160 just this past Feb. You'll get a credit up to the fees incurred for title/registration in Texas but any more funds you paid for tax you get a "credit" in GL's good old home state of Arizona. (Lot of good that does us..)

Call Rick Perry. I am sure he can fit your refund into his new state budget.

Texas state sales tax is %6.25, so you were overcharged by %1.85, not worth the hassle to fight. What that really means is that you have pre paid your taxes and you will only need to pay for the registration and title fees at the tax office

Must have charge you the new truck rate!
