Why the **** does the dmv charge sales tax when you do a even trade for a vehicle with no cash involved?

How can I avoid those fees if we're swapping project vehicles? because, its ******* pointless to pay a 500 dollar tax on a "project vehicle"...

tell the dmv the vehicle was gave to you as a gift
and they dont charge tax

but they will see that I gave my vehicle to the old owner of the car I just received.......

So its that simple? Dont fill out a "value" on the title swap?

i highly doubt they would catch anything like that
plus if they did you gave that car to him
they have to prove you did not, which is not going to happen
so fill out the title as an gift or what i usally do is put a low value like 200$

Don't quote me on this, but I thought I read years ago that if you could prove taxes have already been paid on the vehicle, you didn't have to pay again.

when i went to the dmv after trading my banshee for a ktm 380mxc they charged me tax even though the trade was straight up. So i had to fill in the declared value which i put like $200 for it so i did not get boned too much harder then i already was paying to register it.

I think what bry said is right... but just check the gift box. I do it all the time with our drivers and water trucks.

It's has to be from a relative To do gift. and the min is 800.. I traded my car awhile back after just paying tags then had to pay again for the truck even tho it was a trade stright up. Then 2 mos later we traded back he paid taxes to get it in to his name and I aslo had to pay an additional 200 to get it back to my name fin bs they bone you anyways they can... Oh and he never smogged it and still had my org title from the sale WTF
