1.Sales Tax:
As a Wisconsin resident, you are required to pay sales tax on the purchase of a vehicle. The sales tax rate in Wisconsin is 5%. You will need to pay this tax to the dealership in Illinois at the time of purchase.
2.Title and Registration Fees:
In Wisconsin, you will also need to pay title and registration fees for your new vehicle. These fees vary depending on the type of vehicle and other factors. You can find more information about the specific fees on the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) website.
3.Temporary Transit Permit:
After purchasing the vehicle, the dealership in Illinois will issue you a temporary transit permit. This permit allows you to drive the vehicle back to Wisconsin and gives you a limited amount of time to register the vehicle in your home state.
4.Register Your Vehicle in Wisconsin:
Within a certain period after bringing the vehicle back to Wisconsin (typically 30 days), you must register the car with the Wisconsin DOT. You will need to provide the following documents:
- The vehicle title
- A completed vehicle registration application
- Proof of insurance
- Payment for the title and registration fees
By following these steps, you can ensure that your car is properly registered and that you have paid all the necessary taxes and fees in Wisconsin.
