If you are trading in a car or truck, the tax would be only on the difference you pay. That is the way it is in Indiana.

Are you already leased to a company?,if so use their tax exempt status.DD.
orrr I'll rent you a mailbox for awhile...South Dakotas is only 3% on trucks and cars.

in oklahama the sales ax is zero. so if you are gonna rent a p.o. box outta state do it there.
DD has it right. Have a copy of your lease at the time you get your plates and title. In that case you would be exempt. Some states are just alittle different so I would call so you have all the necessary documentation.

Does anyone know if Fedex always their lease to be used to bypass sales tax?
Don't know about Mass., but in MO the owner of a truck leased to an interstate carrier pays no sales tax if registered at 18,000 or over. I learned this from my FedEx Custom Critical recruiter. No reason for FDX to be concerned if you already have a lease.
The purpose in MO is that you will be paying plenty in road use taxes so sales tax is redundant.

You need to talk to the DOT in your state. In Texas, and as I understand it most everywhere, a truck plated apportioned does not pay state sales tax. It could be different in your state however the odds are as long as you get apportioned plates you won't owe sales tax. Call your state DOT though rather than speculating or wondering.

Thanks guys for your comments, but it's looking bad for the kids this year. The Arkansas DOMV just told me that I owe tax on the full amount because it's considered less than a tractor and will gross out less than 56k lbs. That throws me into a bracket with all those yuppies that are buying new Lexus's for their kids. If I were buying a tractor I would only owe tax on the first $9,000 of the purchase price. Along with county and local tax, and tags for 48 states..it comes to $4300 on a 70,000 truck....ouch....I gotta go fishing to ease the pain !

Picking up my new cargo van on Monday. 
In Ohio you can get a TAX EXEMPT FORM from the Title Bureau.
You fill out the portion that requires an ICC/MC number as a Motor Vehicle For Hire and the dealer completes a portion. It makes the process easier if you have the form in hand when you go to get the truck. Unfortunately, most auto dealers, that also sell cargo vans, know very little about ICC/MC tax exemption.

When we bought our expediter truck and were living in Texas we didn't have to pay any sales tax. Here if a vehicle is business owned, versus privately owned it is subject tp a personal use tax. We found that out when we moved here from CO and had a leased Pick Up which was considered a business owned vehicle because the title was in the leasing companies name.
