Dealer sales tax software for every state
Sales tax on a used-car deal worked out for all 50 states and DC: trade-ins, dealer fees, service contracts and local tax.
Used-car sales tax is not one rule. States differ on trade-ins, dealer fees, service contracts, local tax and who pays. DMS Apex works out each deal from the state's own rules.
What it handles
- The state rate, including states with price bands or minimums.
- Trade-in credit, and the states that give none.

- Local tax: your usual rate, a county rate table, or a rate you type on the deal.
