Subject: RE: Sales Tax & Registration - Private Party purchase

To follow up with some research:

Wisconsin does allow you to live out of state and register your boat with them.
The registration document even states “State of Principal Use WISCONSIN”
The registration fee is a max of $36 Plus additional expenses.
Sales tax = 5%
There is even a provision for poeple who buy out of state and have to pay out of state tax.

CODE 4
Tax paid to another state (should submit photocopy of bill of sale or verification of tax payment to the other state.) Note: Sales tax paid to another state on the item reported on the application may be claimed as a credit to reduce the Wisconsin tax payable. Any county tax or similar tax paid in the other state may be claimed as a credit to reduce county tax payable. (Used for nonresidents that remain nonresidents but keep their ATV/Boat/Snowmobiles in Wis.)
