It's even better. In Illinois, if you get a great deal on a car, you pay tax on the "fair market value" of that car, not the price you paid for it.
Fuck Illinois' government. |

So........don’t trade it in. Sell it to a private party. How would they know ?
Take the cash, use it on a down payment for the next ride you buy, new or used. |

Just when I think there’s nothing more I could possibly hate about this state....they find a way to raise the bar.

The trade in value of a car doesn't represent a profit, it represents a loss.
Look for New York State to adopt a similar tax. |

Best thing I ever did, was leaving that state and not looking back.

So no more trade-ins in Illinois. Smart dealerships will just break up the transactions to different corporate entities. Open separate corps outside the state who will have an in-state "inspection service" company to advise the out of state company on their remote purchase and a transport company who takes (theoretically) the vehicle to the trade-in buying corporation registered and domiciled outside IL. The net cost of restructuring the deals will be WAY less than paying a 6% tax.

Sales tax will be charged on the sale price of the vehicle you're buying, same as always. There's not going to be an additional tax on your trade in. In the past there's been a tax credit for the entire trade in value, that credit will be capped at $10K after this year. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The way the article is written I can't tell if you only pay tax on the used car value or if you pay for the difference and the trade in value which means there is no tax benefit to trading in. In the past there's been a tax credit for the entire trade in value, that credit will be capped at $10K after this year. And don't get me wrong, I'm not defending it as I think we're all already taxed way to much, but it took me literally 10 seconds on Google to educate myself on the topic before I replied to this thread. The world would be a better place if people commenting on shit online actually knew WTF they were talking about. Just like idiots pushing gun control that know nothing about how guns work, current gun purchasing laws, or anything else related to the gun community. |

All in all this is going to hurt the dealerships and the morons who trade vehicles in too often. I keep my trucks until they are 8-9 years old. Then I trade it in on a new truck and deduct 100% off my taxes for buying a work truck.

Is that even legal? Sounds like double taxation to me. View Quote They are basically wealth taxes. You own something of value, we will tax it and get a part of it each year. It doesn't matter if it is a car or piece of land. We will have our piece and it will satisfy us or you will be targeted. |

Yep. GA now strongly discourages selling your car for a new one. Drive it into the ground, and pollute the air in Atlanta more. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
In Georgia they changed the law 8-10 years ago on car sales. Prior to the law change, you could buy a used car from an individual and you didn't have to pay sales tax at all. There was a huge market for used cars sold by individuals. The new law in Georgia is you pay a tax when you get your car tag. So it doesn't matter how or where you buy your car, when you get the tag transferred, you pay the 7% tax. The problem? People don't trade in as much now. Why spend thousands in taxes just to get a new car? The state has noticed that they are not making as much as they used to make as people did not continue buying cars as fast as they used to buy them. Result: The state of Georgia is now considering going back and adding a yearly ad valorum in addition to the sales tax charge. Note: This is with Republicans in charge. Wait until some liberal gets into office. |

a tax on a tax on a tax on a tax .... the government are masters at taxing a citizens dollar, the same dollar, as many times as they absolutely can until that dollar isn't worth a dollar anymore. View Quote You pay taxes upon the income you earn when you earn it. Then you pay taxes upon your SS income (up to 85% of SS income) if you have a side gig Then you pay taxes upon what you have accumulated as part of your estate if the level is high enough. Democrats want to lower it a lot! Simple version of the triple tax. It is actually worse, but I don't want to depress you too badly. |

So if you trade in your car, and the dealer gives you money for it to put toward another car, the state taxes that trade-in value?
Lol. |

We're in the market for a new car. Looks like I'll be shopping in IL, the dealers are going to hurting for months and really looking to deal.
lemons, lemonade and all that. |

Wait until the Georgia republicans find out they can add taxes You pay the tax when you get the car. You pay the tax each year when you register the car at a rate 4 or 5 times the rest of the country You then have to prove your car is smog acceptable once every two years..... by the way there is no limit on what you have to pay in order to get it to pass.... They are at state certified stations so they have no urgency to get you to pass. You then pay for a certificate ( think tax ) to get your car registered once again. That is before the "safety checks" the police hold on a regular basis to check and ticket your car. Goal is 100% of vehicles going through the check point get a ticket. This is before insurance, etc |

Never understood why you got a trade in credit when selling a used car to a dealer. They do that here too, don't get it private party, why should dealers get a 10% price advantage to subsidize their low-ball trade-in offers?

Quoted: What a horrible state. It seems like the only way to deal with that if one had to live there is to keep a vehicle until it has little to no value. Something I would think the dealers would not like. I can't see how that is even legal and hope it gets challenged in court. View Quote |

They also just voted to take downstate police and fire pensions and consolidate them into state run funds......you know, to protect them from our mismanagement. Of course the bill they voted on allows the state to borrow from the fund to pay for public works projects but they certainly won't abuse that at all.
So now our 80% funded program gets merged into neighboring department plans that are under 20% funded that can be spent freely on unnecessary repaving contracts for Chicago area contractors who donate to the right campaigns. Oh and the guy who wrote the bill to merge just announced his resignation from office conveniently after the FBI set up office in Springfield again for another corruption probe. Illinois......it's a great place to raise a family. |

Yeah, this. Not like some people in this thread were saying that they were going to charge tax on the full sales price of the new vehicle, and now add some new tax on the value of the trade-in.
