Sales Tax On A Truck Purchase?

I can't speak for Ohio; however, they may be comparable to the Missouri rules. We get a truck sales tax exemption if we meet the following criteria:
Must be a carrier or leased to a carrier involved in interstate commerce and show proof by document. Typically a lease agreement.
Must be registered at greater than 12,000#
Must pay apportioned fuel tax.
This is more stringent than many States.

Generally, the owner of the motor vehicle is the one who holds the PUCO or ICC/MC permit. However, the owner of the motor vehicle could be under contract with the PUCO/ICC/MC permit holder. When the owner of a motor vehicle being used in highway transportation for hire is not the permit holder, the owner must provide a copy of the contract, which authorizes the owner to operate the vehicle under the PUCO/ICC/MC permit number.
Any motor vehicle (tractor/trailer rig, pick-up truck, automobile, van, sport utility vehicle and/or motorcycle) could qualify for the TH exemption if it is primarily used in highway transportation for hire.
PS. I thought someone posted a link where it was possible to locate a company's MC number? If anyone has that link I would certainly appreciate your posting it in a reply.

In late October of '05 I bought a truck and the nice ladies at the Lorain County, Ohio title bureau told me everything I needed from the Co. that I was going to lease with to avoid paying sales tax. It took a couple of days for everyone to get on the same page, but it got handled.
Go to your local title bureau and talk to the folks there, then call the Co. you're going to lease with and get them to FAX the paperwork to the title bureau.

I was under the same impression about sales tax. I purchased my truck a year ago in Michigan and had to pay sales tax on it. I checked into it at Lansing and was told, you have to show that you were in Business as a previous owner for at least one year pryer to purchasing your new truck. then you could buy your next truck without sales tax....Butch
