Sales Tax

defjef · 24-04-2008, 04:04

I purchased my boat 23 yrs ago in CT as a NY resident and documented the boat with the USGC. I wasn't charged sales tax and had no mechanism to pay it at the time. I assumed I did not have to have a state registration.

I noticed stickers appearing on boats several years ago for state DMV registration and they apparently required proof that sales tax was paid. I am understand that of the boat is not in NYS water for more than 90 days continuously it does not have to be registered or sales tax paid.

Does anyone know if this is true? If so how does one document this or is the burden of "proof" on the state? If the bill of sale is no longer available, how is the selling price determined? Would they assess interest back to the time of sale? Can this tax be "negotiated"?
