Auto taxes are in many cases the same as general sales tax rates with a few pronounced exceptions. Auto sales sometimes include registration fees, tag fees and delivery charges that are not technically sales taxes, but are collected either at the time of the sale or when registering the vehicle with the state.
States that treat auto sales taxes differently than general sales taxes include:
Alabama, District of Columbia, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia.
