Pretty sure this was part of the changeover last year or the year before when Georgia modified ad valorem taxes on vehicles. No longer do we pay an annual tax on cars, only the “tag” renewal fee. All tax is assessed at the moment of purchase. I believe, but have not checked the statute, that it also covered other things like boats and airplanes.
Hope to see you on Lanier this summer.

Does anyone know the Georgia Dept. of Revenue rule on sales tax for
boats sold between individuals? Last week, 8 months after we purchased
our Jeanneau 35, we received a notice of sales tax due for the amount of
$ 3,430. I've searched for a definitive answer but even the GA DOR
website does not give information. I've found anecdotal info on various
forums that says sales tax is not due on sales between individuals.
In our case there was a broker involved, but the title passed directly
from the seller (a private individual) to me. My deposit check and wire
transfer went to the broker, but the Closing statement shows the gross
sales price paid to the broker, with 10% of the proceeds retained as
their commission and the balance paid to the seller.
Is anyone familiar with Georgia's policy on this? Ivars, Guy or anyone else?
Many Thanks
Jim
