This total rate shall reflect any applicable state or local sales tax authorized under the laws of this state. Generally, the department collects and distributes only state and local sales and use taxes.
A sales or use tax return must be filed for the reporting period even though you have no tax to report. More detailed information is listed below. Sales tax is imposed on retail sales of tangible personal property and certain services. All sales of tangible personal property and taxable services are generally presumed taxable unless specifically exempted by law. Persons making retail sales collect the sales tax from the purchaser and remit the tax to the Department of Revenue.
The state sales tax rate is 4. Cities, counties and certain districts may also impose local sales taxes as well, so the amount of tax sellers collect from the purchaser depends on the combined state and local rate at the location of the seller. The state and local sales taxes are remitted together to the Department of Revenue.
Once the seller remits sales tax to the department, the department then distributes the local sales taxes remitted by the sellers to the cities, counties and districts. When you purchase your vehicle, you may obtain a temporary permit, transfer license plates from a vehicle you already own, or you may purchase new license plates.
Our online sales tax calculator may help you estimate the taxes and fees you will pay. Upon purchase of a newly acquired motor vehicle, trailer, or cycle, you may purchase a temporary permit from the dealer to operate the vehicle when no plates are available for transfer.
Missouri dealers can sell temporary permits to out-of-state residents only if they are purchasing motor vehicles, trailers, or cycles from their dealership. To obtain a temporary permit, please bring the following items with you to any Missouri license office :.
The temporary permit must be securely placed on the rear of the vehicle, trailer, or cycle consistent with the placement of regular license plates so it is visible and not obscured in any way. Credit of registration is available for many types of vehicle-to-vehicle registration transfers. And, in limited situations, the actual license plates may also be transferred to the new vehicle without having to obtain new license plates. NOTE: When there is a complete change of ownership, the seller's license plates cannot be transferred to or used by the purchaser.
A current safety inspection will satisfy this requirement. NOTE: If you purchased a vehicle from an out-of-state dealer and had a trade-in, you must present proof of the trade-in in order to receive a tax credit when you title the vehicle in Missouri.
