Bills of Sale in New York
New York requires a bill of sale for motor vehicle private sales, along with the signed title. New York's DMV provides form MV-912 as a bill of sale. The buyer must register the vehicle and pay sales tax within 180 days of the sale.
New York charges sales tax based on the purchase price or the vehicle's book value (whichever is higher). The tax rate varies by county — New York City has the highest combined rate.
