| I purchased an Adam 2 horse bumper pull trailer (new) from a dealer in Lexington, KY back in 2016 or 17. The dealer charged me KY taxes at the time of purchase even though I live in Mississippi. When I returned to MS to get my tag I was told I had to pay the taxes again in MS. MS says KY should have sent the tax money to MS. I have yet to get a tag for my trailer because I refuse to pay the taxes twice. I have even put them on the phone together and no solution was resolved. All they say is I guess you have to pay the taxes in KY and in MS for the same trailer. Does anybody know the rules here. Did KY dealer screw me on this? |

Location: Tenn/Ala. | Most, if not all, states require sales taxes to be charged, no matter where the buyer lives. So no, I believe the KY dealer probably did exactly as required. But- many states have a reciprocity agreement on taxes. I can't speak to one with Ky/MS, but I'd get with the Miss. Dept of Revenue central office rather than your county official to see if there's any help available. Just my opinion. |

| The link below explains Kentucky sales tax on horse trailers - page 1, column 1, toward the bottom. The horse trailer you purchased was a bumper pull and is subject to KY sales tax. Gooseneck horse trailers are not subject to KY sales tax.

You may want to send a letter to the KY Dept of Revenue regarding the sales tax you paid on your purchase.

| I’m ready to sell this trailer. Do I have to have it registered in my name first? |

Location: Tenn/Ala. | As a rule of thumb, only a licensed dealer can assign an MSO to someone else. All other entities must posess a valid title in order to transfer ownership. The state of your new owner will be the decising factor in that. But I believe in all of the SE U.S. states, yes you'll need to title it first.
