UT Taxes

[trvlngnrs]

1) Here is the breakdown for the County of St. George:

UT Registration Fees for 1986 PT38 with DD
1.5% Property Tax: =$892.50/yr (Will not drop much, as is already near
bottom of depreciation table.

40,000lb Weight fee: $290/yr

Registration: $20 first year, then $9/yr

Diesel Fee: None in Washington County

= $1191/yr Registration

2) George, I think your friend with the bus conversion pays less
because the intial MSRP may have been lower.He may not have to pay the
40,000 lb weight fee either.

3) LLC: I'll look at the website, my initial reaction is "not really".
If I was fulltiming I would feel "safer" doing it. It seems obvious
that I am only doing it to save taxes, which I don't have a problem
doing (I took out of state delivery on our Dutch Star while living in
CA), but I don't want to get penalized later.

4) Taxes on Duramax + Fifth wheel: I'll call today and find out. I
have an '01 Tacoma 4x4 that I will sell before getting the Chevy. The
value of the Chevy will be approx $8,000 more, so I don't think the
registration will be greatly increased. I'll probably spend around
$20,000 for the fifth wheel so the tax basis is less and there is no
Weight Fee. I used to own a '94 Chevy 4x4 and it was so much more
comfy than the Toyota, that I am actually looking foweward to getting
another one. Toyota's seats leave a lot to be desired.

5) Thanks to all for your concern!! I have had 4 people email me,
interested in the rig. I would really like a "family" member to buy it
so I can keep track of it:-)
