Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                    STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                         RS11258

The purpose of this legislation is to allow recreational vehicle 
dealers to sell vessels with attached motor, ATV s utility trailers 
and snowmobiles tax exempt to the out of state or out of nation buyers 
without having to deliver the vehicle to buyers in their state or 
nation.

At the present time motor vehicle and travel trailer dealers are 
exempt from collecting sales tax and from having to deliver the 
vehicle to the buyer in their state or nation. Vessels, ATV s utility 
trailers and snowmobiles cannot be sold tax exempt unless delivered 
to buyers in their state or nation.

Snowmobiles, ATV s and vessels and most utility trailers are required 
to be titled in Idaho the same as vehicles and mobile homes. With the 
exception of Wyoming, all eleven (11) surrounding states title 
snowmobiles, ATV s vessels and utility trailers.

The requirement placed on recreational vehicle dealers of having to 
deliver vessels, ATV s, utility trailers and snowmobiles to the out 
of state or nation buyer in order to sell tax exempt places a very 
unfair burden on Idaho Recreational dealers. Many sales are lost 
because of the inconvenience to out of state buyers who are wanting 
to take immediate possession and not wait for a delivery date. Buyers 
from Oregon and Montana would never buy and pay the Idaho sales tax, 
both of these states charge no sales tax. If a sale is made and 
delivery is required in order to sell tax exempt, the dealer has to 
pay to have the vehicle transported to the buyers state. This is not 
only inconvenient to the dealer, it also subtracts from his net gain 
on the sale.
