Re: Interesting Article on Avoiding Boat Sales Tax
aren't most of them like 60 or 90 days in a row? if it isn't a big cruiser, just pull it out every couple of months and take it and wash it and fill it up somewhere else and take a pic... that is how it is written in MO, has to be 60 days straight i believe before they want some money....

I have DL numbers on my boat and pay a small amount to register it in that state. I use a Company in DL that handles all this stuff. They have over 7,000 corps. set up for people that have boats and airplanes. $3XX.00 the first year to set-up and $140ish each year in cost to maintain corp status. Sales tax in VA would have been much worse.

Re: Interesting Article on Avoiding Boat Sales Tax
California used to have an exemption on sales tax if the boat was owned somewhere else for 90 days.. Many people were taking delivery in a port in Mexico... waiting 90 days and then bringing the boat into the state... They just changed the law from 90 days to 365,,, So... if you want to wait a year without having your boat in the US.. then you can save on the sales tax here. I'd rather do the Delaware deal.. Keep the boat there for a year and then bring it to California.
