I purchased a 5th wheel earlier this year and had it registered in Arizona. Because of the tax laws for AZ, no sales tax was required at the time. I am planning to register the trailer in SD for the upcoming year and because no sales tax was paid to AZ, I'm having to pay sales tax to SD.
Question is...the trailer came loaded with a ton of add-on items (solar panels, huge gel battery bank, etc.) which significantly increased the sales price of the trailer. The seller provided me with a list of additions and their estimated value from NADA. He told me when I purchased that I could deduct the add-on values when registering the vehicle to only pay sales tax on the "base" price of the trailer. The agent I'm purchasing from says that is not true and that I need to pay sales tax on the ENTIRE purchase.
Anyone have any experience or insight on this?
