Lease Question Related to Sales Tax after a Move

Hi all,
Dont know if anybody would be able to answer this but I recently moved from NY to MA. Paid close to 3.5k in sales taxes built into my lease to NY State one and half years ago... Now I moved to MA... and BMW Financial Services says that they are adding monthly MA sales tax to my payment. Im paying double tax now on the remaining part of my lease. Keep in mind that the 3.5k sales tax to NY was built into my lease payment and I'm sure that NY state got all there money from BMW up front. Is there anything I can do? Thanks
KDD

IIRC, in MA, if you prove that you have paid sales tax to another state, you're off the hook for theirs, unless you've paid less than their amount (which they just jacked up, so you may be SOL for 1 or 2% depending on what your NY tax was. I think its at 8.25% or something ungodly like that)

You'll get a credit for what you have paid already. You just need the proper documentation. I've done the same in the past moving between RI, MA, and CT.

Good luck with getting any relief. I got screwed not once but twice on sales tax when I moved from LA back to NY and when I moved from NY to NJ. There was no way around paying the sales tax to the new state, needless to say it's incredibly unfair.

You should find info on the RMV website, they have an entire section on "moving to MA" and they definately know how to get their partial taxes. Trust me on that one, I'm a recovered Masshole. 12 years.

The only way I've gotten screwed is moving TO NH, because they don't refund sales tax that gets taken away, or moving to Maine because they don't follow the "6 months = not bought with the intention to operate here" thing that the rest of the modern world uses.

BMW should also be able to help you out if you speak to someone intelligent, but also if you send them a copy of the original sales tax recipt, and you take that in with you when you register your car / get your tags.

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly
