What is the process for shipping a vehicle out of the country and utilizing the sales tax exemption? In order to utilize the sales tax exemption for exporting a vehicle out of the country, the following conditions must be satisfied: (1) Customer cannot take possession of the vehicle; (2) Dealer cannot issue a temp tag; (3) ROF must note that the vehicle is being shipped out of the country and include the destination city as well as the country; (4) Dealer should obtain a copy of the port/dock receipt identifying the vehicle, container number, and name of shop, as well as the destination; and (5) Vehicle must be transported to the port with the same proof that needs to be documented and collected by the dealer. MVC paperwork should be title only. The customer is responsible for arranging the export, ensuring compliance with any applicable regulations. The dealer is not and should not be responsible for exporting the vehicle. All documentation should be kept in the deal jacket. Is there a limit on what we can charge for shop supplies? There is no limit on the amount that can be charged for shop supplies. However, the costs must be reasonable and disclosed in the estimate. Can we use dealer plates on loaner vehicles? No. Once a vehicle is removed from inventory, it needs to be plated. If a vehicle is abandoned at the dealership, can the dealership tow an abandoned vehicle back to the owner’s property? No. The dealership cannot tow the vehicle back to the owner’s property. The dealership must follow the procedures set forth by N.J.S.A. 39:4-56.6. NJMVC has an abandoned vehicle instruction packet with detailed information on this topic, accessible by scanning the QR code. https://www.nj.gov/mvc/pdf/vehicles/Private_Property.pdf How can I make sure the correct address is on the paperwork? Use the address on the customer’s driver’s license whenever possible. Make sure to include the apartment/unit number along with the correct street suffix (St., Rd., Ave., etc.). New Jersey licenses may have a residential and mailing address. It is okay if the paperwork and registration show different mailing addresses as long as the addresses are current. Different town names are also okay if the street address and ZIP code match. If a business is purchasing a vehicle, the business’ EIN (corpcode) is tied to a specific address that must be used on all documentation. Auto Dealers: Start Earning From Every Supply Purchase!
