I would give them a call.Response by CH (CPT) Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 7 at 2018 6:04 PM2018-06-07T18:04:40-04:002018-06-07T18:04:40-04:001SG Private RallyPoint Member3693411<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I bought my car the sales tax was included in the price, and it wasn't a hefty fee either, not like compared to once when I bought a truck in Missouri and they wanted $4,300 in sales tax before I could register! I've bought and sold vehicles of every type in TN from trucks to trailers and even a boat, I paid sales tax on everything an not once did the county clerk say I shouldn't have. I'd be interested to hear more details, is TN your state of residence, if not where is? Was it new or used?Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 7 at 2018 9:05 PM2018-06-07T21:05:06-04:002018-06-07T21:05:06-04:00SGT Mark Rhodes3694381<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As far as I know you have to pay sales taxes on the purchase of a new car but not on your license plate or license plate renewal. Also TN does not have a state tax so you should not pay state taxes or have any money withdrawn from your paycheck for state.Response by SGT Mark Rhodes made Jun 8 at 2018 9:19 AM2018-06-08T09:19:30-04:002018-06-08T09:19:30-04:00CW4 Private RallyPoint Member3696414<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If I remember correctly a car bought by a service member in the state of Tennessee is exempt from sales tax. Check with ACS to verify but I can almost guarantee that as a military member you are exempt from tax.Response by CW4 Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 9 at 2018 12:39 AM2018-06-09T00:39:38-04:002018-06-09T00:39:38-04:001SG Timothy Trewin3697162<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I didn’t pay taxes on my wife’s RAV4.
