Anybody know what it is around here? I just bought a "new" used vehicle from a private party and I was wondering how much I can say I bought it for and get away with it so I'm not charged and arm and a leg in tax. Dane will be happy to know the vehicle is worth much more than 2K. I gave in to societal norms. Damn it

Find your county, and make sure to add that % to the state tax of 4.225%.

Oops. You live in Kansas. Hold on....

So say I bought a vehicle for 11K from private party...could I put down 2K or are they going to freak out and call my bluff?

I always thought it was based on what the car was worth (according to some standard) rather than what you paid for it. Could be wrong, though.

I think that is what Kansas does now. We used to tell them we traded a room full of furniture for it.

Yeah, when I lived in Missouri I said I bought my car for about 100 dollars. I was charged almost no sales tax for it. But I bought the car for $650 so it wasn't like it was a big deal.

If it's a scrap vehicle you might be able to pull that off. But the state has been wise to that scam for a good while. They'll also check with the vehicle's previous owner on occasion.

Been trying to find out stuff for you. All I can find is that there are forms you have to sign saying who sold it, who bought it, how much, etc. Can't find any rates though.

A long time ago, we bought a car off my uncle for $1000. On the Bill of Sale, he put down $50 so we wouldn't have to pay but a few dollars for sales tax. That's in Missouri, though.

Eh. I didn't read through it extensively, but I didn't see any rates in there. Good luck.

You pay normal sales tax from the county you registered the vehicle in. Property tax is based on the value of the car, not what you paid for it.

If you do not have a bill of sale from the seller or the seller did not right the sales price on the title, you may have to sign an affidavit that swears you paid the amount you tell them.
