Licenses and taxes on autos spur debates and reform
An analysis by Lynn M. Shaw of the National Automobile Dealers Association argues that license fees and taxes on motor vehicles have grown into revenue tools. It cites governors and legislators debating high charges, noting that many owners pay more than the cost of a car, and that licensing began as police work for vehicle identification rather than revenue. It details current state measures, flat fees for tires and vehicle classes, and Indiana’s alignment with a national uniform motor vehicle law plan endorsed by dealers.
