A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4068 AS INTRODUCED 1-28-03

The bill would amend the General Sales Tax Act to provide that in the case where a motor vehicle was used as part payment in a retail sale of another motor vehicle (that is, as a "trade-in"), the sales tax would be applied to the difference between the agreed-upon value of the motor vehicle being traded in and the full retail price of the motor vehicle being purchased.
