Utah lawmakers are proposing legislation to curb residents who register high-priced vehicles in Montana to evade paying Utah's sales tax. The practice, estimated to cost Utah $50 million to $100 million annually, involves residents registering their cars in Montana, which has no sales tax, despite living and primarily using the vehicles in Utah. The proposed law would allow the Utah State Tax Commission to compare vehicle registration data with insurance records to identify potential offenders and impose penalties.
