South Carolina is 4% of the value of the car, YEARLY. First year for the Fiesta, $596. Two months away from finding out if SC correctly values my car.

If we banned the tyranny of private property, cars wouldn’t be taxed.

Washington is whatever the sales tax where you live is—so, in Seattle, 9.6%—when you buy the thing, plus the registration tab fee for that year and then every year. The yearly registration fee about doubled this year.

I feel like the US is going to look like India in the next 20 years of this keeps up, where you have an immensely wealthy minority vs a devistatingly poor majority.

Georgia - this is the same state that kicked almost everybody off of welfare and now steals the federal money they’re supposed to use for welfare to spend on other things. BUT WAIT WASN’T SHOWING FREELOADERS THE DOOR SUPPOSED TO LOWER TAXES?

In BC, it’s 12% of purchase price upon ownership transfer through any private party sale. I’d be paying $1200 in taxes on that hypothetical $10k Camry.

8.25% use/sales tax where I am in California. However, the state also charges a $15 transfer fee.

Michigan does it on a yearly bone you basis. We pay 6% sales tax on the sales price, but then each year the plate costs whatever the book value is for the vehicle. For instance our new Pacifica cost us more than $250 to get a years worth of registration. My 2012 S4 was similar too, it’s based on the new car value, so my super depreciated 09 s8 I bought costs me over $300 a year for plates, well it will next year, this year I was able to transfer the S4 plate to it for $8. But next year it’ll cost me a bunch. It’s 6 one, 1/2 dozen the other. They will get the money somehow. Hell, my 99 Dakota still costs me $78 a year for tags.

When I lived in Ohio it was way cheaper for plates, like $8 or something silly like that.... but then I had to live in Ohio ;). So I guess it’s all worth it in the end ;).

It more than doubled for most. It’s based on the “value” of the vehicle as defined by some imaginary source that nothing actually sells for.

I’m surprised nobody noticed this in their voter handbook when they voted for this thing...

My tabs expire at the end of the month, but I’ll probably have traded or sold my DD (the more “valuable” vehicle by far) by then and likely won’t have to find out whether it doubled for me...but I’m really not looking forward to registering (and paying sales tax) on its replacement.

I think it would make sense to tax gasoline to pay for roads and bridges.
