California 10 day tax exempt For lease buyout
Ask the Hackrs
Hi
I have looked thoroughly here and this topic has not been discussed.
In CA, you are allowed to payoff your leased car in order to resell it without paying taxes on the payoff IF you can sell it back and to a third party which would need to register the car within ten days of the original leasee recieving the title form the lessor company.
