Used boat sales tax in Arkansas?

[iamthunderman]

I am buying a boat in Texas and will trailer it back to Arkansas. I am not paying any sales tax on it in Texas, but can't find info on tax here except that there might not be any.

Thoughts?

Really? You really think that? If so, I've got some bridges I like to sell you too!

There are severe penalty if you fail to report vehicle purchase triggering a taxable event. Check with either your DMV or DNR. If you are truly blessed with such a state, make sure you have it in writing. CYA!

I know that in a person to person transaction there is no tax. I can't find anywhere on their dmv of ark tax websites regarding out of state transactions.

they will let you know when you go to register the boat. they are going to collect their part. just make a phone call.

When you make a vehicle purchase (boat , motorcyle, car, ect.) the dealer will charge you the tax for the state that you live in. When you register the vehicle you will pay the tax if there is any.

Try this link:

Take a look about halfway down the top link:

Sales tax is collected by the dealer for new and used boats. Arkansas does not charge sales tax on casual sales (individual to individual) for boats.

In Arkansas, there is not a sales tax if you purchase a boat from an individual. If you purchase a boat from a dealer, the dealer will charge you the tax.

If purchased from an individual, you'll pay the registration fees, etc., but no sales tax.

I live in Georgia and I bought a boat from a dealer in Georgia that was selling the boat on consignment from an individual in North Carolina. They charged me sales tax....is that right? Should I have been responsible for paying sales tax on this boat?
