Excavator sales tax

[kball4]

Looking at new Kubota excavators. If I live in WA and buy a new excavator in OR, because excavators are not licensed can I avoid sales tax?

Yes, unless they catch you

Yes, unless they catch you

How would they do that ?? There not registered there are no tabs no plates

The cameras on the bridges crossing into Oregon are monitored. I know some one that was hit with "USE" tax which you are supposed to pay if you bring something back into Washington. They hit big ticket items being towed by personal vehicles. I happen to know some one whom this happened to.

Paranoid much I bet I have bought 30things this way never been talked too or contacted I’ll keep doing it ,you one of those people who loves giving your money away ?

I get your "required" to report such purchases.  But would a new equipment dealer make me pay sales tax because I'm a WA resident?

If its "logging Euip bus purchase",  Hmmm look into that.  Farm exemption, hmm?

If you have a washington home address you get taxed.

You can avoid sales tax but are obligated to pay use tax which is the same rate as sales tax at your address of residence.

This is not true. I know plenty of guys that have purchased rifles in OR that live in WA and we’re not taxed. I also know of someone that purchased a skid steer with no issue.

On internet purchases but not in person sales.

I think you’re unlikely to get caught

Only a matter of time before Washington residents are charged sales tax when shopping in Oregon as Washington is losing millions as consumers fail to report and pay their required use tax.
