New boat sales tax purchased out of state question

In Minnesota because outboards do not carry a title, you will only be paying tax on the boat and trailer. Be prepared to give a value mon the boat and trailer seperately. This is what I was told in 06′ when I bought one new in MO. It’s nice to save a good chunk of cash and not having to pay tax on the outboard.

Thanks J.H.

I only paid taxes in MN on my trailer when I purchased my triton from a guy selling it in WI last fall.

x2, I only had to pay tax on my trailer. They asked what the trailer was worth, I said $200. That what I had to pay tax on. The boat came from Ill.
Wallster ><((((>

You only pay tax on the trailer. The license for the boat is via the DNR and they are NOT a tax collection agency thus no tax.

Wallster, was this new from a dealer?

I have purchased used from a private party out of state before and yes in that case I only paid tax on the trailer when I went to the courthouse. I’m wondering if it is the same when purchasing new from a dealer? Thanks, Randy

Just thought I’d post my findings after placing a call to the local office in case anybody runs into this in the future. I was told the dealer needs to break my receipt of purchase down to boat value, motor value and trailer value. I only need to pay tax on the boat and trailer when I register it in MN. Thanks to all for your input, Randy
