Bob is exactly correct. A careful reading of the Motor Vehicle Tax code will confirm that the *first* time a new Assembled Vehicle is titled/registered, no tax is due. Subsequent sales of this car will be taxable.

The presumption on the part of the state is that you paid any sales tax due on the components when you purchased them. FFR may decide to charge customers tax on the kits at some point, but I have not heard of it.

You're not being sneaky, you do not owe sales tax on this kit car. If the county tries to charge you tax, ask for the supervisor.

Good luck!
