Maryland state guide
Maryland motor vehicle excise tax
Maryland charges 6.5% motor vehicle excise tax. Dealer taxable price includes manufacturer rebates and processing charges but subtracts qualifying non-leased trade-in allowance. Private and used transactions can be subject to MVA valuation rules and a statutory minimum.
Title and registration
The calculator includes the $200 new/used title certificate fee. Registration depends on vehicle class and other MVA factors, so it remains external/manual.
Worked example
A dealer vehicle with a qualifying trade-in subtracts that allowance before the 6.5% excise tax, while manufacturer rebates remain taxable.
