yeah, thats the way it works, unless the person doesn’t want to drive it back, but then they would have to pay the tax in pa. basically, if you bought the car here, you pay the sales tax for whatever the rate is for the state you reside in(no more than 6%, which is florida’s rate). fill out and have notarized an exemption form, take it back to pa and have it registered. i know what you’re saying that you would think PA wants the money, but you gotta think that florida does too since it’s sold here. florida has an agreement with every state except for arkansas and mississippi for the sales tax exemption when you bring it into your state and vice versa.
