How long does that requirement exist, and why not keep it registered in NH until then?

You have to pay the sales tax in Fl too if you register a NH purchased car there. On the other hand if you buy a car in Fl and register it in NH you don't pay the sales tax.

Over time it will work out to be about the same $ as it would cost him to continue registering in NH. His annual registration in VT will be something like $70 VS $300+ that he could be paying in NH.

Also notable, when he files his VT State Tax Return, there is a line on the form for him to claim/pay the 6% VT sales tax on items he bought in NH. Examples would be furniture, household appliances or a lawn mower....

I bet a lot of people check the box and pay the 6%

MA has the same line on its tax forms. I rush to calculate how much I owe the state, NOT!!!

He has a two year commitment to GE in Rutland, as they gave him a relo pkg and he's in an Engineering Development Program. After two years, he can either stay there, or transfer to a different GE facility. Since it was that length of time, we decided he should play by the rules and get a VT driver's license, register to vote, register his car, get it insured there, etc.

I suppose we could have kept everything under the radar and kept his car registered and insured in NH, but we've always tried to do things above board. And, if there were ever an accident, the ins co could refuse to pay since the car was not "garaged" in NH.
