highway robbery-- NHDMV

[Garandman]

In MA, we pay $20/year. But then we pay yearly 'excise' tax, and a sales tax when first registering it. In NH, they avoid the sales tax, and I don't think they have the excise tax either. I bet the total cost is roughly similar. I thought RI was about the same. yr.

They have an excise tax but don't call it that. Most of our commercial vehicles are cheaper to register and insurein MA than NH. Trailer reg is much cheaper, though.

Also in NH if you want to register an OHV they require a drivers license and charge you the non resident rate even though you can register a car or bike in NH if it lives on your NH property.

In other words every state sucks.

[aldend123]

To be fair, no income or sales tax kind of makes up for it. I realize it might still be a wash after local property taxes. But at least you have a fair amount more control over those.

The tax rate we pay in Goshen is two and a half times higher than the rate in Boston.

If you have a really high income it would probably work out in your favor.

[aldend123]

According to this, Goshen was $24.91 per 1000 in 2015. Higher than the state-wide average. Certainly higher than MA, though about double.

Property tax
2015 NH Average : 2.15% or 21.5 per 1000
2015 MA Average : 1.21% or 12.1 per 1000

http://taxfoundation.org/sites/taxfo...ocs/PIT-01.png
Income tax:
2016 NH : 0 (5.0% shown in picture for dividends or interest)
2016 MA : 5.1%

What numbers should I use? Let's go upper-ish middle class 3-person family, 145k income, 350k property?
7525 NH property tax
4235 MA property tax + 7179 income tax (technically, I'm using 145k Federal AGI, and minus property tax) = 11414

My read on it is MA and NH are the two better choices tax-wise. The rest of New England and NY look worse.

not as simple as you make it, tax rates vary greatly from town to town, and assessments vary even more, in my town, the rate is relatively high, but assessed property values are low, I pay less than $3k/yr, if I lived 10 miles different, in anther town, the rates are lower. but assessed values are higher, I have a friend with similar value property as mine who pays nearly $7k a year in property tax

[nhbubba]

I love when people in the Boston metro area brag about how low their tax rate is.. while paying tax on a home valued at three to four times what mine is. Yet is smaller. On (way) less land. Has almost no privacy. Has more traffic around it. Is in a town with a police chief that has no respect for the 2nd amendment. Where you can't discharge a firearm without having SWAT activated. Where the OHV laws are obtrusive at best, insane at worst. Where you can't plate anything fun unless you stand on your head. And where you need special permission from the HOA to have a utility trailer on the premises. Utopia!

Oops. I mean NH taxes are obscene! Stay away! Save yourselves. It's horrible here.

Goshen also increased the assessment 18%, though that's probably the result of the sale of the property.

We pay $1,100 more in Boston for a house worth 4X as much. But commercial rates in Boston are quite high.

MA income tax has a lot of exemptions but dealing with three states for business, they're all bandits. I wish the state workers were as efficient as the tax collection.

don't forget water and sewer bills (tax)

on the other hand, I do pay approx $100k/yr in application fees to the state and towns on behalf of clients

. I wish the state workers were as efficient as the tax collection.

I can't complain too much about the departments I work with, septic designs are reviewed and approved generally the same day as submitted, many only taking a few minutes to go thru the process

//Oops. I mean NH taxes are obscene! Stay away! Save yourselves. It's horrible here.

Thank you for contributing your state income tax. It is probably paying for a no-show job.

If you take overall tax burden, MA is in the middle, NH among the lowest.

taxers gonna tax

I'm just comparing averages. It varies in MA from town to town as well. And I didn't include electric rates. Or the highway robbery at the NH DMV. Another cost of living factor is insurance, but that kind of gets fuzzy when we've been talking about government costs.

are you inferring that electric rates in NH are higher than in MA ?

not the case

The fair value of the use should technically be taxable income to you. In Massachusetts you would be assessed the full sales tax upon purchase/registration, plus local excise tax at 2.5% of value, plus registration and title fees.

So there you go. SVRACER01, my advice is:
a) Be glad you don't live in MA.
b) Don't move to MA.
c) Vote for Free Staters and other small-government liberty-minded candidates.

no MA...got it.

Keep in mind that most everyone in NH is paying for a full year registration, to only use their bike for 6-8 months.
Except crazy Randy, who rides 12 months of the year.
If they give you a refund, then everyone who has a bike sitting in their garage for the winter also wants a refund. (ok, slightly different situation, but where does it end ?)

Well, of course it *should* end when no one is paying for stuff he isn't using and doesn't want to pay for. On all levels, and for all stuff. But of course it's completely unrealistic to expect the government to be fair and just, so in practice it ends with the maximum level of abuse that people are willing to endure.

[nt650hawk]

property tax. when did this come about. Just Tree Farm the thing!

[CBR929RE]

by the time i know what my bike will be, the plates will be expired and therefor saves me $0 on the new registration.

how do you register a bike when you don't even know what it is?

[me109g4]

If you think the registration is bad wait till u get it inspected,, that worthless cow Hassan jacked the inspection fee on motorcycles. It now cost $30 to inspect a bike in NH, which considering how long it actually takes is nothing but an a$$ fucking, courtesy of NH .GOV. No reply from her or her drones when I complained to her either, arrogant bitch.

[nhbubba]

Pretty sure the fee is set by the inspection station. This isn't MA.
Shop around.

[RandyO]

considering how long it actually takes

it actually takes a while if done correctly

for instance does your inspection station verify the bike's VIN with the registration ?

use a DB meter on the exhaust ?

test ride it to verify the odometer & speedometer is working ?

check headlamp aim ?

inspect the entirety of tires for cracks, & cuts... use a depth gauge on the tread ?

check to see if the horn can be heard by a person 200 feet away ?

check operation of clutch and side stand safety switches ?

check wheel alignment ?
