Sent in the new boat application and returned to me.. Now they want an original invoice,title and a reciept from the county tax accessor that the sales tax has been paid.
1) No Money changed hands this boat is sponsored
2) All accesories were bought on the internet and I have never ever paid sales tax on onternet purchases.
Basically all boats purchased after April 1 2011 will have to show proof of sales tax paid on everything from trailer to motor to electronics.
JACKASSES!
That sucks Torch!!! We have to register and pay sales tax on boats, motors and trailers but not the accessories.
thats ridiculous...
I've sent mine in 3 times. Still rockin the IL registration#s. Was told if bought from an individual, no taxes, but they couldn't get past the bill of sale being on a marina receipt even though it started"representing the owner", and the title was in the owners name, and I made the check to the owner! This time I submitted my own bill of sale. Hope I dont get locked up
If I were buying a new boat, I'd just buy a plain boat, motor and trailer. That's all they need to know. Add trolling motor and accessories later!!!
I wouldn't sweat it. It should stand up in court that you sent it in three times but the system tries to make it so darn complicated.... Its nearly impossible...
See this is why I just like holding on to my old boat....!
I am thinking about having a witness and do the bill of sale route.
I will get a crack head up town and have him sell the boat to me for a 1.00 and I will mail the tax commission a check for .07 and be done with it.
Spending $1,000,000 to collect $1,000. Gotta do somphthin to justify their existence.
Are you sending this to MSWFP or the state tax commission?
I am sending the boat registration in to the MDWFP and was returned because of no original sales receipt and no proof of sales tax paid. I sent the tag receipt where I paid 496.00 for the tag and the sales tax on trailer.
I paid LA taxes of 183.00 which don't do you any good in MS.
I bought a used boat this year from out oif state and knew I'd need a bill of sale on the trailer with a witness signature. The boat was titled and was in the owner's name so I figured the title would be enough. It was signed over to me and notarized at the bank. Well, came to find out since Georgia doesnt title boats I'd need a bill of sale on the boat too. Didnt make any sense to me at all since the title from another state was in hand, signed over to me, and notorized?!? Sometimes them people dont think!:rolleyes:
Everyone needs to say "thanks" to the OBAMA administration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:m ad:
yep, torch, been there, done that..........went through it all when i bought my charger.
I registered my new boat back in March.....I did not have a title ......I just sent MDWFP a copy of the invoice where I bought it.....the invoice showed the ser. numbers for the boat and trailer, and motor and what I paid for sales tax.....they were not concerned with the trailer and motor ser. numbers, just the boat......it went right through. I used that same invoice and bought the trailer tag at the courthouse for 35 bucks.Quote:

you should be ok as long as you had a witness sign yours and the sellers signature on your bill of sales. it don't have to be a notary so their instructions stated. i sent my bill of sales and got it back stating it had to have a witness signature. had that done, sent it back and got my numbers in about two weeks.Quote:
