At 47 I bought my first ATV last week, a 500 ATP . And WOW what I've been missing on all these years is so unreal. Well the question I got is do I need to pay the sales tax on this machine or let it slide. I bought it in Nebraska "$6200.00" and live in Missouri. Tax is about $470.00 This ATV Won't leave the farm.What do you guys think?

 

i wouldnt pay it if i didnt think i was going to be asked about it...

 

That's a toughy! If it stayed on the farm I would see no reason for the Guvmint to get any of it! On the other hand, if you decide to sell the machine down the road, title might become a sticky issue. Maybe someone in your state can speak to the issue with some knowledge of the legalities. Here in California, I was offered an Ag Tax exemption and I think it just reduced the tax to about 3.5% rather than 7.25% but I had to fill out to much paperwork and show resale info, etc. I blew it off.

BTW....welcome to the world of ATV's! I'm 42 and just bought a Sportsman 400 in January (my first) and had to have another. 2 weeks ago I brought home ANOTHER....a 500HO Sportsman.

 

I wouldn't pay it if I didn't have too.

 

How does Missouri ask this as far as use tax on out-of-state purchases on your 2003 Missouri resident individual income tax return?

 

the other ?? is how does mo. register there quads? In Nevada there is no registration but alot of states have it.

That's really the only issue in California. Here we have a Green Sticker or Red Sticker that gets issued. If you are on Public Land, you have to have one or the other...like a license plate. If you don't then you get hozed! (Sorry Hozed!)

 

Huh, well I guess it's strickly up to you. The law however states that you need to pay sales tax on it. In one or the other states. If the taxes are less in your state than the taxes you paid they refund you the difference, and visa versa. If you payed less than your state rate then you'd have to cough up the difference. In fact some states are now adding a line item to tax returns for items purchased out of state. They want you to start aying for all the "tax free" internet buying. you know how the Gov't is when it comes to taxes...In Indiana I will have to pay property tax on the dang thing.

 

you gotta be registered up here too.... and they are started to become real dinks about it.

 

Mark my dad has a polaris ranger had didnt have to pay taxes on it in Missouri and he can drive it on the road just like you would a tractor.Im not sure were the atp.s fall in line Im not sure if there atv or farm .If you take it out on the road just make sure you have one of them orange things on the back.
