Arlington, Va. did that to me back in the mid-80's (among many other less-than-ethical behaviors I won't go into right now because it's bad for my blood pressure). I bought a good-running '82 Mercedes 300SD, although with faded paint and 180k miles, for $7500. Went to the tax office to get my county sticker, and lo and behold my "new" car is now worth $12,200, full retail with no allowance for condition, so that's what I paid property tax on I told the woman that she could give me $11K, I'd hand her the keys and walk home. Didn't help. Crooks.

I kind of get hung up on the entire concept. Why is the government entitled to review and tax a transaction between two private parties? I'm happy to report that is not the case here in Arizona. Every state has laws like this on the books. Some states probably enforce more than others.

Own a small business and see these leaches come out of the woodwork. I mean they are just employees but you'd swear they get a commission on what thyey collect they are so aggressive.
Small business owner pay tax on "personal property". So you basically have to pay tax on everything you insure or depreciate. All your vehicles, equipment, computers, etc. About 5%. EVERY EFFING YEAR. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS JUST FOR THE PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY AND EQUIPMENT SITTING IN THIER CITY. They actually want you to pay tax on every pencil and office chair. We already pay 100 other taxes. The government thinks like most employees, "It sold for $100 so they MADE $100" NO!!!!!! Rent, payroll, repairs, roof, pallet racks, parking lot, paint for the building, machine repairs, computers, utilities, and on and on. That $100 is only $20 profit IF YOU ARE DAMN LUCKY.
I always remember the story about John Wayne Gacey, the clown serial killer. He was a government flunky that would patrol neighborhoods and write tickets for lawns being too long. One person said he would bring a phone book of paperwork and pictures if you fought him in court. HE WAS A SERIAL KILLER!!!! Gacey owned a small construction company, you are thinking of the BTK killer, Dennis Rader.

Do they try & tax people having garage sales??? here, you have to get a permit to have a garage sale. when this was first brought about, the city said it was to combat a few persons that had been doing ongoing garage sales for weeks and months at a time. to fix this problem, the permit would be for three days, and would be a tool to be used to shut down the permanently run sales. the permit was free. it wasn't long before that "free" permit was $5.00. i think it's $10.00 now. if a way to collect sales tax were to be figured out when you sell your buddy a wrench you never use anymore, or a tire and wheel that doesn't fit your current ride, they would be all over it !

2. Just pay the idiotic tax, which I don't want to do not 100% out of being cheap
Knowing the actual dollar amount of the tax would be nice. Sometimes it's wiser to pay than to be in the government's sights. Petty bureaucrats often wield enough power to make your life miserable.

I bought a 2009Accent several years ago for $300. Engine was trashed and it was wrecked in the left front. I transferred the title, paying the tax on the $300. Several months later I get a letter from the state of FL stating the sale price was less than the average value of the vehicle. They wanted signed letters from the seller and the buyer that the stated sale price was correct. Well I couldn't do that since the sale was facilitated through a third party, a service advisor that no longer worked at the dealership so I had no way to contact the seller since I didn't have their contact info. I called the FL DMV and explained the situation and why the car was so cheap. They told me to just send a letter explaining the cars condition and how I bought it. No problems after that. Not every state is corrupt.

Long ago I did something and the irs hit me with a 13k back tax request. Either I or they missed something but I sent a bank check that week and never heard back from them. Hey, what about that $50K I let you borrow? I guess you missed paying me also, just send me a check and I let those hard feelings go....buddy Seriously though, you should have questioned that IRS bullchit, I got hit by an IRS "letter" saying I owed them $40K....dammed if I was going to pay that!, funny thing is they wouldn't give me a local office that I could visit to show my displeasure, they just wanted a check, in full!, after several months and talking to IRS individuals in almost every State, funny my State didn't have IRS employees or offices, who would have thunk? and with every argument with a new agent the amount slowly went down review after review....eventually we settled on $11K due to a filling "error"....

Not every state is corrupt. similar experiences here. last fall i bought a 2009 VW Jetta so i could do a smyth ute project .i only paid $200 for the car. i also got a letter from the DMV saying i owed more taxes on my purchase a couple of months later. the car was rusty as hell, covered under VW rust warranty and repaired for free. ( i did the repair work and have invoices billing VW $12K for rust repairs) it also didn't run. i had to put $2500 in parts to get it daily driver reliable. i still have to figure out a ECM check engine light so i still might have to buy a $1K factory ECM, now my cheap car might not be so cheap. i took pics of the car when i bought it. i also sent copies of the parts invoices of everything i bought. i sent everything to the DMV and to my surprise about 1 month later i got a letter back stating i didn't owe anything for taxes.

I kind of get hung up on the entire concept. Why is the government entitled to review and tax a transaction between two private parties? I'm happy to report that is not the case here in Arizona. Every state has laws like this on the books. Some states probably enforce more than others. Nope. Not true. No sales tax on private vehicle translations in Arizona. A very quick web search indicates that is the case in New Hampshire, Delaware, Montana, Oregon, and Alaska, and Washington, DC also.
