Nebraska Sales or Use Tax Applicable to Registration

 

Property tax paid to the County Treasurer. SALES OR USE TAX is 5.5%; additional Local Sales Taxes may apply. RESIDENTS pay SALES TAX on purchase price with credit given for TRADE-IN vehicle. Resident can go out-of-state and trade-in a Nebraska registered car and bring new purchase back to Nebraska and receive credit on trade-in and tax already paid. Must purchase from a licensed dealer. NEW RESIDENT is not required to pay SALES TAX if vehicle previously registered in another state MILITARY PERSONNEL are EXEMPT from Property Tax and Wheel Tax, if stationed in Nebraska and county where licensed. However, they must pay to the County Official the sales tax on a vehicle. (County Official in the county where the vehicle is principally stored and kept for the majority of the year.) Sales tax is required to be paid to the County Treasurer within 30 days of acquisition of the vehicle even if it is not registered. A new tire tax is assessed to new vehicles. The tire tax fee is $1.00 per tire and it includes spares. When a customer receives more than one vehicle from a dealer on an even trade for one vehicle traded in, and no money changes hands, the applicant would need to complete a Department of Revenue Form Six and there would be no tax due. NOTE: The sales tax on boats is collected by the County Treasurer at the time of registration.
