Today's Poll!Mo. Senate passes local vehicle sales tax bill
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) — Cities and counties would be able to resume collecting taxes on cars that were not purchased at Missouri dealers under a bill passed by the Senate.
The Senate voted 28-0 to send the bill to the House on Monday.
A Missouri Supreme Court decision last year has prohibited local governments from collecting sales taxes on cars bought from
out-of-state dealers or from a private sale between Missouri residents.
The legislation would allow counties and cities to immediately collect local taxes on such sales. It would also require a vote between November 2014 and November 2016 in counties and cities on whether the tax should be kept.
Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed a version of the bill last year that would not have required a public vote.
