auto finance, TX resident but out of state...

[ShawnQ]

Any help here?

I'm looking at a new cummins. I'm a TX resident, active duty military and stationed in KY.

If I purchase in KY, and want TX plates, am I correct in assuming that I do NOT pay KY taxes?
It is my understanding that since my home of record is TX, I basically treat the deal as if I'm buying online. Once I receive it, I register and pay TX taxes.

Any input?

You will have to bring it to TX for inspection and a green sheet before they will register it.

Even if its brand new?

Yes. On out of state cars we always had to do one.

Might PM Chris 93lxhorse. He just went through the same thing with a car he bought in AZ.

Wheb we bought a car from michigan, ee paud sales tax in fir michigan, then paid the difference here. It was 6% there and 6.25% here. The lady from the bank said the state woukd refund if we paid more for the out of state.

It depends on state to state if they work with each other on the sales tax call a Tx tax office and find out or just buy one in Tx and be done with it

Incorrect, it can be titled/registered by someone else designated by the owner on the owner's behalf when the owner buys the vehicle and is stationed out-of state.
