Minnesota Motor Vehicle Sales Tax
Minnesota applies 6.875% Motor Vehicle Sales Tax to taxable vehicle sales price after qualifying rebates and trade-in allowance. Local sales tax does not apply to vehicle sales, though separate local vehicle/wheelage charges can apply.
Title and registration
The title certificate fee is $8.25, with separate filing and transaction charges. Passenger registration depends on base value and age; EVs also carry a surcharge.
Worked example
A $30,000 vehicle with a $5,000 trade-in and $1,000 qualifying rebate has a $24,000 taxable sales price.
