1969.0. "Boat sales tax in New Hampshire?" by ICS::WANNOOR () Tue Nov 24 1992 23:56

    I've looked through all the TAX, REGISTRATION and DOCUMENTATION notes
    and can't find an answer to this, so:
    
    Is there a sales tax for boats registered and delivered in New
    Hampshire? I am buying a boat in Connecticut, and my broker tells me
    that I may not have to actually "have the boat delivered there" to
    register it, but I don't understand the mechanics of that....

	I purchased a daysailer in Mass. last summer. I could have picked it up at the dealer and signed a "slip" stating that I did the actual delivery to New Hampshire (the same as if a NH resident buys a car in Mass). I had them deliver it for $25.00. Of course, you pay NH taxes to register the boat, but no sales tax. Dave

	I bought a boat last Spring from a Massachusetts dealer who also has a yard in New Hampshire. The boat was eventually to be registered in Vermont. If the boat were delivered in Mass., the dealer would have been required to collect Mass. sales tax. Vermont is also a sales tax State and I would have had to prove to Vermont that I had paid it in Mass. Instead, I picked up the boat in NH, and paid the Vermont sales tax when I registered the boat there. I paid no tax to NH upon delivery there. In general, when registering a boat in a sales tax State, they will make you pay the tax upon registration, or prove that you still own it and paid tax upon original purchase in another State. Larry
