Not sure if this helps but I purchased a new car in 2020 in New Jersey and had to pay the higher NYC tax where I lived. I also purchased a new car in 2017 in Pinellas county Florida and had to pay the higher tax where the car was registered in Hillsborough county.

It should be based upon your county of residence.

Based on your county where the bike is going to be registered. However, if your county is the same as where he is, they could have just put the wrong county on the paperwork.
<===17 year car sales ETA: We have a place here where two towns are in both counties. So we have to ask the customer where their residence actually is in order to know where the tax should be paid to. |

I think the discrepancy is about a half percent. Works out to about $50. Not a big deal but if the money should be in my pocket rather than theirs, I'd rather that. So again, I ask, is what they are doing clearly illegal? Or is it a grey area? |

While the reporting of the tax is incorrect I don't think $50 is going to get anyone in trouble. If you want I would call them and ask about it. I'm sure they would rather catch it now and correct it then have it found in an audit later on. |

The salesman told me "we collect sales tax at the point of sale, not your county of residence." So either it's illegal for them to do that or it isn't. $50 of my money but likely tens of thousands of dollars out of hundreds of customers. I'm leaning toward illegal but no one has caught them yet. Maybe after my registration / title comes I'll inquire with the AG office. I don't want any friction if something is amiss and I need their help on some paperwork. |

Well if their sales tax rate is less than the customers they would actually be collecting less money than they should from the customer. So be careful with that statement. I can't believe it hasn't been caught in an audit yet. Like I said we are careful about it here bc we have two or three towns cloes to here that are in two counties at the same time. So not only the zip code but the person address makes a difference. |
