Worked Examples
Example 1: Vehicle Under $10,000
If you're purchasing a vehicle priced at $8,000:
Calculation
Sales Tax = $8,000 × 4% = $320
Total Price = $8,000 + $320 = $8,320
The total sales tax for this vehicle is $320, bringing the total price to $8,320.
Example 2: Vehicle $10,000 and Over
If you're purchasing a vehicle priced at $25,000:
Calculation
Sales Tax = $25,000 × 6.5% = $1,625
Total Price = $25,000 + $1,625 = $26,625
The total sales tax for this vehicle is $1,625, bringing the total price to $26,625.
