A note about sales tax: The sale of a car is taxed at 7% in NJ, very few residents are taxed at half that rate which is 3.5% because they live in areas which qualify for the reduced state tax rate (example: Vineland and Millville in Cumberland County).
Ownership tax is a personal property tax based on a vehicle's manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). The taxable value of your car is calculated by multiplying the MSRP of your vehicle by 75 percent for trucks and trailers or 85 percent for passenger vehicles and motorcycles. Therefore, a passenger car with an MSRP of $20,000 would have a taxable value of $17,000. This amount is then multiplied by the vehicle's tax rate, which is determined by the age of the vehicle. The tax rates range from a flat fee of $3 to 2.1 percent of a vehicle's taxable value depending on the age of the vehicle. A 3-year-old car with a taxable value of $17,000 would have an ownership tax of $204; which would be the amount that could be deducted from the federal tax return.
