Dear ***********:
We spoke concerning the new federal Car Allowance Rebate System (“Cash for
Clunkers’).
It has been determined that the amount of the rebate/voucher received by the
selling new car dealer through the Car Allowance Rebate System, is not subject
to Texas motor vehicle sales tax.
The dollar amount should be shown on the “trade-in” line 21(b) of the
Application for Certificate of Title (form 130-U) and the vehicle should be
identified on line 20. If an additional motor vehicle is traded in to the
dealer, the amounts should be combined and the total indicated on line 21(b).
Dealers should retain documentation in their usual records showing that the
funds were received through this program.
Please give me a call with any questions.
Sincerely,
Curt Swenson
Tax Policy Division
