[quote=Lexington;5049577]If you are a SC resident you pay a sales tax, if you are an out of state resident you may be subject to a use tax. I think the states listed do not charge a "sales" tax on vehicles or don't offer some type of credit for taxes paid, therefore, that is the reason they are treated differently.[quote]
Can't answer for the others, but Maryland charges a 6% sales tax on car purchases. If the car is bought out of state, the tax is paid at the time of MD registration - ditto if it is a used car and the owner is moving into MD. I don't know if there would be a partial refund for an out of state "use" tax or not.
