That’s a great overview! Don’t forget the plate fee and possible inspection fees, too! They can add up quickly.
I believe veterans might be eligible for certain discounts when registering their vehicles. Can someone confirm that?
Yes, veterans in MA can get a discount on their registration fees, plus there are specific exemptions if the vehicle is for disabled veterans. It’s worth looking into!
Are there any fees for electric vehicles when registering? I’ve heard they are different but not sure how exactly.
Great question! Electric vehicles have a higher registration fee in MA—$1,500 for a new EV. It helps fund the transition to cleaner energy!
The sales tax can be a real kicker. If you’re buying from a private seller and pay less, just remember the tax still applies to the actual value!
Exactly! It’s essential to keep receipts and accurate records to make sure you don’t underreport. Always better safe than sorry!
