I'm kinda like, if you're gonna use a sketchy tax loophole, don't cry when the tax man comes for dat azz.
So is it a loophole, or is it tax evasion scheme?
One is legal, one is not legal.
Its 100% legal from Montana's perspective, and Montana will happily take your ~$200 in registration fees and you can legally be on your carbon-fiber and V8 way.
So if its not legal in Georgia, he question is, what in Georgia law specifically prevents private citizens from conducting legal business in another state?
Are they making shit up so they can go after all those "rich" people to take their money, which you appear to be cheering on? Or is there actually a law on the books that dictates if the vehicle is in the state for X amount of time then it must be registered in state. (which sure sounds like the sketchy part to me, since its impossible to prove and cars arent people)
And under the same rationale, Servicemembers who register their domicile in Florida because there is no state income tax there yet they dont live (which Florida grants with a smile) there should similarly be prosecuted for tax fraud and should not "cry when the tax man comes for dat azz" ?
