If you are a New Hampshire resident and purchase a vehicle from a Massachusetts dealer, you will be required to pay sales tax on the vehicle when you register it in New Hampshire. This is because New Hampshire does not have a sales tax, but does impose a registration fee based on the value of the vehicle. The registration fee is calculated using a formula that includes the purchase price of the vehicle, so you will need to pay the sales tax that would have been charged in Massachusetts if you had purchased the vehicle there.
In order to register your vehicle in New Hampshire, you will need to provide the following documents:
- The vehicle's title
- A bill of sale
- Proof of insurance
- A completed Application for Certificate of Title and Registration (Form MV-1)
- The appropriate registration fee
You can find more information about registering a vehicle in New Hampshire on the New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicles website.
