Excise Taxes
One day, while cruising around Boston's website, I came across a link, which led to another link, which started to get me worried because they were talking about taxes... automobile excise taxes.
It turns out that the City of Boston collects a yearly tax on all autos registered in the state and held in Boston. Well, this was news to me! Of course, I was not looking forward to paying yet another fee, tax, whatever to this blasted state just for keeping my car here. But, I read more about how much this tax was going to cost me, and here's the formula:
- First, you start with the original value of the car.
- Next, you take a percentage of that value, given the car's age.
- Now, you pay $25 per $1,000 of that value.
- Finally, if the registration was completed after January 31st, you only have to pay for the months after registration up to December 31st.
The upshot of all this is that the City of Boston values my car at $1,050, and so would normally pay just over $25 per year, but since I got my car registered in October of last year, I only pay for three months. So I now have a tax bill from the City of Boston with the grand total of $6.56.
Crazy Massachusettsians with their crazy taxes. It'll probably cost them more to process my payment than they will get out of the whole deal. Oh yeah, this $25 tax is on top of an annual $41 registration renewal fee and a $40 license renewal every five years. Plus my $984 per year insurance bill, plus gas, plus repairs... owning a car is expensive.
