Because of the DMV is such an evil entity, it tries to charge you
sales tax on used cars. This is completely insane. No used items
should be charged tax. I know even used guns bought at gun shops do
not carry any sales tax. The DMV is just pure evil incarnate.
Talk to your state legislators. They make the laws, not the DMV.
After just waiting in line for two hours to get a simple title
and temp tag at the DMV, I am very angry not only at the fees I paid,
but at the attitude of these govt. apathetic workers. I would suggest
everyone, in order to pay lower taxes, report prices much lower than
the actual amount. You cannot fight the DMV head on. You will have
to be as crafty as the DMV is.
Most times, the property tax and/or the sales tax is based on book vallue,
not some measley amount that the buyer and seller put down on paper (unless
it's close to the fair value). Sso saying "For $1 and other
consideration..." doesn't make the sales price (and hence the value) really
$1.
When I skirt an unjust law/policy, I become very proud of it. I
am righting a wrong, and there is no other way to do it.
Have you ever tried talkking to your state representative?
