Calculating Texas Sales Tax
Texas residents are required to pay 6.25% sales tax to the state of Texas when purchasing a
vehicle. If sales tax was paid in another state, the vehicle owner will get credit for the sales tax
already paid on the vehicle and will pay the difference between the rates when titling the vehicle
in Texas. Use the following to determine how much is owed:
Proof of Sales Tax Paid
Sales Tax Due
Bill of sale includes an itemized sales tax
collection that is 6.25% or more
No sales tax is due to the state of Texas. Provide
proof of sales tax paid by submitting the itemized
bill of sale.
Bill of sale is not itemized or no sales tax has
been paid to the state where the vehicle was
purchased
Sales tax is calculated using the following formula:
(Vehicle Price ¨C Trade in Value) x 6.25%.
Example: The vehicle was purchased for $29,500
and there was a trade in value of $5,400.
Step 1: Calculate the amount subject to tax
29,500 ¨C 5,400 = 24,100
Step 2: Multiply the result by .0625%
24,100 x .0625
Sales Tax Due in Texas = $1,506.25
Provide proof of sales tax paid by submitting the
itemized bill of sale along with $1,506.25.
Bill of sale includes an itemized sales tax
collection that is less than 6.25%
Sales tax is calculated using the following formula:
(Vehicle Price - Trade in Value) x (6.25% percent paid to your state)
Example: The vehicle was purchased for $29,500
and there was a trade in value of $5,400. Your
state collected 4% sales tax.
Step 1: Calculate the amount subject to tax
29,500 ¨C 5,400 = 24,100
Step 2: Calculate the difference in tax rates
.0625 - .04 = .0225
Step 3: Multiply by the amount subject to tax
by the new tax rate
24,100 x .0225 = $542.25
Provide proof of sales tax paid by submitting the
itemized bill of sale along with $542.25.
