Seasonal Resident Registering Vehicle in NH?

Merrymeeting · 03-06-2012, 10:58 AM

The story on the WMUR site is 4 years old. I suspect that the incentive to register in NH vs MA is not as strong as it used to be.

I have cars registered in both states (legally). While the timing and method of how the taxes and fees are collected are different, over the long haul, the costs are about the same.

MA collects mostly on the front end through a sales tax. NH collects each year through much higher, annual registration and licensing fees.
