Buying Advice Out of State Sales Tax Confusion

I didn't pay sales tax. You don't pay sales tax for ag equipment here.

but no sales taxes on agricultural equipment if a non resident buys there. Makes no sense to me, but that’s how my sale worked.

What is the buyer is a resident?

Same here but I wasn't going to commit fraud to get a few bucks off. I don't do ag. I garden for myself. Yah I could have put a jar of honey or store bought eggs out front for sale but that'd be a fraud too.

All I can say, is I wish it wasn’t so confusing trying to keep up with everything. My husband buys where ever he feels he gets the best deal and doesn’t always put the paperwork in it’s proper place.
Come time to file taxes, I want to pull my hair out!

Bought my tractor in VA and I am in NC. dealer told me if I come up there to pay for it and pick it up he has to charge me VA sales tax.
If he delivers it to me, I don't have to pay it.
NC I have to pay the tax to report it for personal tax unless I get an ag exemption...I think??
Anybody from NC?

When we sold cars to from CA to Oregon residents we had to collect tax unless delivery taken outside CA.

Often that my meant the State Line...

We could hire transport or Dealership could transport/drive to Stateline.

But nearly all states have some kind of Use Tax similar to the above that puts the burden on the buyer and many have reciprocal agreements that report the sales to each other enabling collection if not properly reported.


But that doesn't mean you don't have to pay each year. Even if not registered or insured for road use, some tax vehicles as personal property and charge annually whether they ever see public roads or even if they don't run at all.
