Overview Of Motor Vehicle Sales Tax Exemption For Disabled Veterans
Disabled veterans may not need to pay sales tax for one vehicle in some states. The veteran must own and primarily use the vehicle for non-commercial purposes. To qualify, the veteran must obtain disabled veteran license plates.
Qualifications For The Sales Tax Exemption
- Eligibility for the exemption varies but generally requires 100% disability rating from the VA.
- The exemption aims to provide financial relief to veterans with disabilities from service.
- While VA does not directly offer car loans, the tax exemption makes vehicle purchases more affordable.
As of December 2018, 100% VA disability pays $3,057 monthly. This amount adjusts yearly for cost of living. Qualifying veterans can register one vehicle for free in some states, with restrictions.
States like Oklahoma and Georgia provide exemptions on vehicle sales tax for disabled veterans. Most states with income tax exempt VA disability payments, making them tax-free.
