Poor Monte... ;-)
« on: July 22, 2010, 09:24:54 AM »
I remember Monte whining and howling about having to pay tax on what the state decided the "actual retail value" was on one of his bikes when he transferred the title.  I just transferred title on the Junkyard Dawg and they charged me tax on what I told them I paid for it!  Maybe the rules have changed or it's a Tarrant vs Denton county thang...

Sorry, the Devil made me do it!!  Couldn't resist the urge to rub it in!

You may be correct about the Tarrant / Denton County tax offices.

And I'm still torked about that! Thanks for the reminder "J". Now twist the dagger...

Funny you should bring this up now as either this week or next, I've gotta get the Mexico Bike properly registered. I'll try the sales price affidavit form but hopes are slim.

Just want to get legal and be able to put the Chinese scooter's license plate back on Lynn's putt-putt.

Hey Monte, I'll give you $995 for El Lucha Libre.  Print this note and take it to the Tax ASSessor-Collectorator as proof of what the market value is.   8-)

I understand your point Lou, but it wasn't really the price of tea so much as the exhorbitant tax on tea.  There's a bunch of folks in office right now that have forgotten that expensive lesson and are soon to be reminded.  [smiley=furious3.gif]
