DOES ANY BODY HAVE AN IDEA ON HOW MUCH TAXES AND REGISTRATION WOULD BE ON A $18000 BOAT WOULD BE?I HAVE NO CLUE AND NEED TO KNOW BEFORE I PURCHASE A BOAT.emoScratch
 
in Tn I think it is a certain percent up to 10K$ or some number and then drops down after that....not sure of the exact numbers but I`m pretty sure they don`t hit you with the full tax on big ticket items like cars and boats.....could probably talk to any sales people at boat or car dealers and know for sure.
 
Are you buying a boat from an individual???</p>

Are you in TN?</p>

  I have been there and done that.  I can tell you something that you may not believe so you need to go to the tax office and find out from the Horses mouth, so to speek.  I know for a fact that you are ONLY required to pay Taxes on the boat HULL ONLY in most cases.  Inboard you do in most cases, Outboards no.  Not the engine, not the trolling motor, pumps, steering controls or any accessories.  You are not required to pay taxes on the trailer either to register your boat.  However if you are going to buy a tag for your boat you will need a seperate Bill of sale for just the trailer.  But you should know that in TN you are not required to have a tag on your trailer(unless it is too large for a fishing boat) nor do you need one if you pull it across state lines.  The Tag office will give to you a copy of the law that you may carry in your glove box if you think you will ever be questioned in another state. The NADA value is what the tax office goes by even if you bring in a Bill of Sale. If you know or can get the NADA value of just your boat hull only and bring a B o S in that is at least 80% of that value, that is what you are required to pay tax on.  If you bring in one Bill of sale for everything, I am sure they will allow you to pay triple tax.  Then laugh their butts off at you when you walk out the door. Then if you do buy a tag for your trailer that you do not need you can pay the tax on the trailer again to get your $92.00 SEMI Tag.  </p>

I know you are thinking that I am crazy...That is why I started out telling you to ask the folks at the tag/tax office.</p>

  So bottom line is get Three Bill of sales.  One for at least 80% of the used NADA value of your boat. One for just the used value of your trailer and then get one for the outboard engine, trolling motor, bilge and other pumps and every thing you want a reciept for that you do not need.</p>

You can get your used boat value from NADA.com.</p>

Make the call and tell us what they require so that others reading this can learn from it.</p>
 
I was told any trailer under 20' does not need a license, just carry a copy of the TN law if you go out of state. Over 20' and you need a tag.
 
yes Im in tn but buying the boat in alabama.I cant find the nada on the hull only they always add a motor.
 
It does not matter where you buy the boat if you are getting it from an individual.  Tell me whatboat and model you are getting and I will look it up for you.  In the NADA book, some are listed with the engine included and some do not.  That is the very way the tax office looks at it.  As I said earlier, You can call them and they will look it up for you and they will tell you the value that they will be comparing your bill of Sale to.</p>

The rule on a trailer; The measurement for a boat trailer and a utility trailer for personal use is  for the Cargo area only.  That means only the box area.  The fenders, tongue, Bunkers, rails, light brackets and wheels are not included in that measurement.  The dementions for the cargo area are 20'-0" long and 8'-0". My boat trailer is about 26'+ long and I am hauling a boat that with the engine is about 24' long by 8'-6" wide...."No Tag required".. The cargo area is smaller than the 8' X 20'.</p>
