Sales Tax on New Vehicle Purchases

August 27, 2009 By john

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provides for new incentives for the purchase of new cars in 2009.  This applies to vehicles purchases after February 16, 2009 and before January 1, 2010.  Taxpayers who qualify may deduct the sales tax (state, local, and excise) on the purchase of new cars, light trucks, motor homes, and motorcycles.  You may claim the deduction for as many vehicles as you would like – there is no limit.  The deduction per vehicle, however, is limited to the tax on a purchase price of up to $49,500 and does phase out for taxpayers at higher income levels.  The nice thing about this sales tax deduction is that it is available regardless of whether or not a taxpayer itemizes deductions on Schedule A.
