I thought you said you paid $30,000 for your boat. Maybe they made a mistake calculating your sales tax.Same here. Our boat, an '00, I got to pay nearly $4000.00 on it when I bought it. 8.9% + another $300+ for licensing.
Super cool

That's why it's called "Sales Tax". A couple times when selling my old car(I don't trade) and buying a new one timing as been such that the dealers would run my used car sale through making it look like a trade. I would split the tax savings with the buyer of my old vehicle. You have to have a cooperative dealer. A little harder to do with boats I know.You're correct, I got my numbers backwards. I paid nearly $3000.00 in tax and $400.00 in licensing and other "fees"
Anyways it's amazing that they can justify re-collecting tax on something that has already been taxed.
I realize it's a sales taax, but in my opinion all items should only be able to be taxed once. I know it's a common model for revenue for many states, but it seems ridiculous. I'm sure the reason it remains in place is so that used items don't have any more advantage over New, keeping the Businesses happy.That's why it's called "Sales Tax".

Most states have a deal when you trade in a boat and buy a new one you are taxed on the DIFFERENCE, not the whole amount. Michigan just keeps charging over and over again, Go figure...
I suppose they could do away with sales tax but replace it with what? Maybe increased income tax or property tax. Somehow they have to get what they need. How much is truly needed is the thing I am always wondering about.
New Jersey does check on sales tax. I had to show that my documented boat with a home port of Cape May, New Jersey had the sales tax paid on it.

........Despite what politicians may say, tax systems are (supposedly)designed to raise revenue to fund the cost of government. Then politicians tweak the system to reward certain groups of taxpayers at the expense of others, and it's called "fairness".....
