That is a similar argument used as when the Amazon tax was first proposed, with the retailers complaining about Amazon's competitive advantage due to not having shipping facilities in New York and people not paying sales tax.
A slightly less onerous solution would be to institute a sales tax for out of state car sellers selling to NY buyers.
- mikecarlton 13y agoHere in California, sales tax on a car is based upon the address you register it at, not on who you buy it from. Sales tax isn't the motivator here, it's entrenched businesses (auto dealers) paying lobbyists and legislators to protect their valuable turf. Do they add value? I don't think so, why not let consumers choose?
- nissimk 13y agoYou are required to pay sales tax on a newly purchased vehicle when you register it in NY state. If you buy it from someone out of state, you still have to pay NY state sales tax: http://dmv.ny.gov/node/2086 http://dmv.ny.gov/node/2086
