Also why are we being taxed on something that taxes were already paid on when bought new the first time?

I agree. If traded in you don’t pay the tax on the difference but if sold privately you paid the tax then the next registrant will pay the tax again.

Same reason they tax social security payments- they're assholes, and you can't do anything about it.

Stop making sense.

I am so sorry. I had a momentary lapse of reason and forgot we were in NY!!! Nothing makes sense here.

On a NYS DMV Statement of Transaction (DTF-802), there's an option to receive a vehicle as a "gift", in this case a snowmobile. If the transaction is listed as a "gift", the seller has to complete Section 6 which asks if there were any services, debt, or property exchanged as a condition of said gift.

Question. If this was a pure gift of generosity, does the DMV make some sort of fair market value assumption and charge sales tax (yet again) for the transaction or is the net sales tax simply $0.00?

Any help / experience would be appreciated.

NO TAX. A gift is a gift. All my used cars were gifts, because I am so cute and likable

There is no law against receiving gifts from strangers. It doesn't have to be your relative, besides how can they tell that two people are not related.
