California Closes Montana License Plate Registration Loophole
Original: California closed the Montana license plate loophole
California has moved to shut down a loophole that let residents register luxury cars and exotic vehicles in Montana to avoid paying state sales tax and registration fees. The practice, long popular among supercar owners, relied on Montana's lack of vehicle sales tax. New enforcement now targets these out-of-state registrations, and drivers are debating the implications.
Why now: The closure affects wealthy car owners who used Montana registration to dodge California taxes, sparking debate over tax avoidance.
