자동차 구입시 트레이드 인을 하면 트레이드인 차값을 제외한 금액에 대해서만 텍스를 내는걸로 알고 있습니다.
예를들어 사려는 차가 3만불이고 넘기는 차 벨류가 1만불이면
2만불에 대한 택스만 내는걸로 압니다.

그런데 넘기는 차가 1만불의 payment owe가 있을 경우에도 텍스를 2만불에 대해서만 내는지, 아니면 3만불에 대한 택스를 다 내는지요?

딜러에서는 트레이드인 한 차의 1만불 남은 페이먼트를 페이오프 해 주고
차를 사오는 가격은 3만불이 되는 경우입니다.

감사합니다.

어떤 택스를 말하는 건지 혼동이 되는데 sales tax는 무조건 사는 새차가격의 몇 %이기 때문에 trade in과는 전혀 상관이 없습니다. 내가 판 차는 그 차를 사는 사람이 또 세일즈택스를 냅니다.
등록비 registration fee (이건 뭐 등록세, 등록비)도 주에 따라 새차의 가격에 몇 % 를 내기도 합니다.

세일즈텍스입니다.
주마다 틀리는지는 모르겠는데 잘못 아시는 듯 합니다.
무조건 새차 가격의 몇%는 아닙니다. 지난번 차 살때 트레이드 인을 했는데 새차 가격에서 제가 트레이드인한 차가격을 뺀 금액분만 세일즈 텍스를 냈습니다. 6.5%라고 하면 위의 예의 경우 2만불에 대한 텍스만 냈었습니다.

다만 지금 질문드리는 것은 트레이드인할 차가격만큼 제가 은행에 갚아야 하기 때문에 딜러가 트레이드인을 받은 후 페이오프를 하는 것입니다.

주마다 다르네요. 아래 참조

What Fees Should You Pay?
Fees Chart Reveals Costs Upfront
By Philip Reed, Senior Consumer Advice Editor

You skillfully negotiate the price of your new car and you think you’re getting a darned good deal. But when you see the contract, with all the additional fees, you go into a state of shock. Where’d all this stuff come from? Are these fees legit? Or is the dealer inflating costs to try to take back profit?

Edmunds.com has created a chart with all the basic car-buying fees. In addition, we show how sales tax on trade-ins and rebates is handled (both differ from state to state). More about this later.

Most commonly, there are three categories of car-buying fees: vehicle registration fees, sales tax and a document fee or “doc fee.”

Vehicle registration fees: This is the amount charged by the state to register the new car, assign a title (legal proof of ownership) and cover the cost of license plates. The dealer provides this service for you — saving you a trip to the DMV or registry — but the money goes to the state. Still, it’s good to know ahead of time roughly what this will set you back.

Sales tax: Sales tax on a new car amounts to more than most people expect. At 8 percent, sales tax on a $20,000 car will cost you $1,600. Cities and counties will frequently add a quarter percentage point so the amount you pay will vary within a state. We have provided a maximum tax charged within your state.

Doc fees: In states where doc fees are not regulated by the government a dealership will often sell a car at a very attractive price but then hit the buyer with a $399 doc fee when the contract is drawn up. If you refer to our chart, and see that doc fees are not capped in your state, you should find out early on in the buying process what the dealership charges. If it is high — anything over $100 — you will need to negotiate more aggressively to offset this price.

Taxing the trade-in: In many states, if you trade in your old car you can get a nice tax break. Here’s how it works. If there is a “Y” in the “Trade-In Sales Tax” column of your state, you are only taxed on the difference between the new car and your trade-in. So, if your new car costs $20,000 and you are getting $7,000 for your trade-in, you will be taxed on the difference, or $13,000. If sales tax in your state is 8 percent, this will save you $560. If there is an “N” in the column, it means that you will pay tax on the full amount of your new car purchase and the trade-in has no bearing on the sales tax you are charged.

Taxing rebates: Increasingly, consumers use cash rebates from car manufacturers to offset the price of new cars. How does this affect the sales tax you pay on your new car? It varies from state to state. Look at the column labeled “Are Incentives Taxed?” If there is a “Y” in this column it means that sales tax is calculated before any customer cash rebates are subtracted. Say you have agreed to pay $20,000 for your new car but there is a $4,000 customer cash rebate. Depending on the state you live in, you will either pay tax on the full $20,000 (which, at 8 percent, would be $1,600) or on $16,000 (at 8 percent it would be $1,280). The difference is $320.

Other Car-Buying Fees
There are two other aspects of car-buying fees which frequently arise that car buyers should know about.

Dealer fees: Dealers can write other fees into the contract and give them official sounding names: “S&H” or “Dealer Prep” or even “Shipping.” These fees are another attempt to take profit on the back end of the deal, when the buyer’s guard is down. There is no way we could list all these bogus fees in this chart. Furthermore, if all dealerships in the area charge the same fees, you might be stuck with paying them. Again, find out early what fees you will be charged and negotiate accordingly.

Holdback and Wholesale Financial Reserve: The holdback is a percentage of either the MSRP or invoice price of a new vehicle (depending on the manufacturer) that is repaid to the dealer by the manufacturer. The holdback is designed to supplement the dealer’s cash flow and indirectly reduce “variable sales expenses” (code words for sales commissions) by temporarily elevating the dealership’s paper cost. The wholesale financial reserve is only levied by some manufacturers and is a further percentage designed to offset dealer expenses such as “charge-backs” where a service is ordered and paid for but then cancelled. Both fees are considered difficult to negotiate since dealers consider this money sacred.

Advertising fees: Sometimes buyers look up invoice prices on Edmunds and find they don’t match the invoice price given by a dealer. Is the dealer trying to put one over on the buyer? Not necessarily. This is probably because an advertising fee is involved. If an advertising fee is listed on the car’s invoice we consider it a legitimate fee that should be paid. However, if the advertising fee is written into the buying contract by the dealer it is another example of a dealer trying to pass along his expense to the buyer.

How To Use This Chart
Using the information provided below, you can estimate the fees charged on your new car purchase. If you know what you are paying for the car, and any rebates involved, you can calculate sales tax and how it will be charged. It will also tell you the way the tax will be charged if you have a trade-in. If the doc fees are unlimited in your state, you should call the dealer to find out what it charges. Ask if there are any dealer fees other than “tax, title and doc fees.”

While this chart will be valuable in generating an estimate of additional fees, don’t expect to calculate your final cost to the penny. Registry fees, in particular, are difficult to calculate. And some states have nominal charges (less than $40) for local environmental laws. Still, this chart will tell you roughly what to expect and help you budget accordingly.

Note: All fees, prices and information were updated in October 2008 except for doc fees, which Edmunds.com monitors on an ongoing basis. The doc fees vary by dealer and are difficult to obtain. Verify the amount of all fees with the dealer before finalizing a purchase agreement.

1 Maximum Sales Tax
Often, you pay a combination of state, county and local taxes. This is the maximum tax you could be charged.

2 Trade In Sales Tax
If there is a “Y” in this column it means that you will pay sales tax on the difference between your new car purchase and the value of your trade in. This is a saving to you. If there is a “N” in the column, it means that you will pay tax on the full amount of your new car purchase and the trade in has no bearing on the sales tax you are charged.

3 Are Incentives Taxed?
A “Y” in this column means that the buyer will pay tax on the purchase price before the manufacturer rebate is applied. Dealer incentives are not taxed.

4 Documentation Fee
This will tell you if the documentation fee is limited by the state and what the maximum amount is. If there is no limit to the documentation fee, dealers are allowed to charge whatever they decide is appropriate. In some cases, this fee might be negotiable.
