That is exactly the case we have here, in Idaho. For instance, I could buy a Raptor in Montana, or Washington, and unless those particular dealers had an Idaho Tax ID # with the state of Idaho, no sales tax would be collected......until I brought it back to Idaho and registered it at the DMV. VIN is then inspected, and full Idaho state tax (6%) will be collected.
Yeah, that's the way I thought it worked. I used to live in WA and we knew people that would make a trip to OR for large purchases (appliances etc) due to the lack of sales tax. The same could not be done with vehicles, however. Once the vehicle came back to WA and was registered, the DMV would collect the tax that wasn't paid at the time of purchase.
