I was told today by the registrars office while registering my car that I should not have paid sales tax on my car when purchasing it. Has anyone else been charged sales tax and went through a process to get their money back?

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.

CW4 Omara is 100% right .You do not pay taxes while on active duty, once you get out or retired there you start paying that sales tax.

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 Also TN does not have a state tax so you should not pay state taxes or have any money withdrawn from your paycheck for state.
