|  | The reason that Mass Motor Vehicle Excise Tax is deductible is that it's not
an excise tax -- it's a personal property tax.

| 427.3 | only if based on vehicle's supposed value | CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSON |  | Tue Mar 30 1993 11:08 | 10 | 
|  |     The excise tax is deductible on the federal tax return, but only if it
    is based on the value of the vehicle rather than something else (like
    its weight).  If the excise tax is based on some combination of the
    vehicle's value and other things, then you have to compute the
    percentage of it that is deductible.
    
    /Charlotte, who thinks there is something wrong with any taxation
    system where the average working person would benefit by hiring a
    professional to figure their taxes!  (I don't, though; I'm too
    cheap/stubborn!)

      Hmmm... New Hampshire charges an amount that show up under "permit
      fees" on the registration.  It is based  on  a  millage  (sic--not
      "mileage")  that  decline based on the age of the vehicle which is
      multiplied by the "list price", which is also on the registration.
      ("List  price" come from an official list of the new vehicle's lit
      price; it is not necessarily the figure that  was  on  the  window
      sticker.)
      
      Are these fees deductible?

      Charlotte  -- I agree -- its like writing a serious DCL procedure.
      Every time you do it you learn something new and useful.

|  | re .4:
That sounds a lot like the Mass tax, which seems to be deductible.

    Which is why I asked the question.  Anybody out there who has
    claimed this [successfully]?
