Mirrikat45 asked:
I bought a car a few years ago when I lived in Oregon (Sales Tax Free State). Paid off 100% was mine. I went to move up to Canada and the car wasn’t going to pass B.C’s “AirCare” so I gave it to a friend of mine. Well me and my wife then decided we would rather live in the USA. So we moved to Blaine WA. The car company wouldn’t let me import the car I was leasing from them. Well my friend had never used the car so he said he would just give it back to me. So I drove back down to Oregon to pick the car up. He had registered the car in his name as Oregon law requires. When I got back up to Washington and try to register my car in my name again they want to charge me 8.5% Sales tax on the Bluebook value of the car ($1400) thats $153. Even though the car was a “GIFT” Is the lady at the office wrong? (In WA they dont have DMVs like other states. Here they have like grocery stores that do this stuff) Or am I really going to pay that on top of the registration fees?

Any Link to the actual rules and regulations would be the best! Thanks!
They use the bluebook value to calculate tax because too many people were “giving away” their cars to avoid this tax.
Your question is answered here:
.
Localities can make any rule or law that they want. Life ***** man. Sorry. Pay the tax.
The money pays to fix the pot-holes in the roads. And there are plenty of them to fix. So you have to pay..
