Ray,IN Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 The way I interpreted that article is; luxury vehicles and RV's are taxed at 1% of retail value if it's over $150,000 when new, the first year is.9%, .8% 2nd year. Apparently no tax for older than 2 years. That is still a lot less tax than many other states; I read on another forum about a man paying 10% in his state.

Kirk W Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Quote A total of 984 luxury vehicles and 42 motor homes are now registered in Montana that would meet the age and value requirements and qualify for the tax, Justice Department spokesman Eric Sell said. 1 Only 42 motorhomes that the cost exceeds $150,000? I really wonder about that one since I think that Bennette Law Office represents more of them than that. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

bobsallyh Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Kirk, I thought the same thing about "42". Since it doesn't take much to reach the $150,000 MSRP on a MH today, I'll bet that Wagon Wheel and Gardner's in Kalispell, Bretz in Missoula, Big Sky in Bozeman and Pierce with their multiple outlets have a combined 42 new $150,000 new units sitting on their lots.

pkusmc Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Montana now adds $800 to your registration if your RV’s MSRP is $300,000. We bought our RV in 2010 and did not pay that for our coach but for Montana, it does not matter. Our registration renewal this month had the $800 added. I am told that tax is good for 10 yrs. Big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of how the AMA wages battle for the motorcyclist in legislature. Where's our advocates? I’d bet the target is the large number of people from other states that use a Montana LLC to avoid taxes in their home states and register RV’s, boats, airplanes, and other expensive possessions while paying little or no tax to MT Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

We had our own water well, septic and paid for private garbage pick up, town didn't offer it. Wife and I agreed if taxes ever exceeded 1,000.00 per month we would sell and spend the money on something else. Well it hit that mark 2 yrs before we could retire so we stuck it out and then sold and ran away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJohns Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 When I bought two years ago I considered a Montana LLC. But I kept thinking about what happened to our local county treasurer who happened to live across the street from a highway patrol. Plated out of state but kept said vehicle in our county. Did not work out real well. This works it you live on the road but if you stay in your local state but plate it some where else the county gets unhappy. Best to check with your residing state. 2002 Beaver Marquis Emerald C-12 Cat 505 HP 2014 Volvo 630 D-13 I Shift SOLD 2017 New Horizons SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thousand pardons Kirk. My only experience was with exporting new manufactured truck mounted commercial equipment. The US tax process bordered on the comical sometimes. The last 5 rv’s I bought in Canada were used, private party sales. The “one time tax” where I live was $0. "Are we there yet?" asked no motorcycle rider, ever.

Dugansbus Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I live in Montana just paid my renewal on my Motorcoach which is a 2010 Allegro Bus and paid $800.00 in addition to the registration fee. Thank goodness this luxury tax is deductible! You have to wait until the RV/Motorcoach is 11 yrs old to be no longer subject to the tax. Beware!

Dugansbus Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Pkusmc, Hate to disappoint you, but it is not a one time tax. Per DMV of Montana, you get charged this tax until your RV is 11 years old, because they hold their resell value well. I just registered our 2010 Allegro Bus, which won't be eligible for permanent plates for 3 more years, and their plateau is $800 at the lowest each year.

Also as a side note, after we left, sold everything in NC, they had the nerve to fine us for tax evasion. Had to send copy of property of Texas resident and copy of bill of sale for NC home. They dropped it but fact is they are serious about stealing our money. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
