So the other day I get an excise tax in the mail for a boat I sold in 2006 from the town where the guy I sold it. Since it's been 4 years (with no excise tax) I immediatly thought shinnanigans from the guy I sold it to or an error in the system.
Turns out that even though I sold the boat, handed over the titile, was registered in new guys name. I'm still on the list for this thing.
Being the first boat I've ever sold I had no idea there were more steps involved to getting rid of the boat.
NOW
I need to fill out a motorboat status change form (i guess that was supposedto be filled out in 06)
An excise abatement application
and I am supposed to find the bill of sale from 4 years ago!
as well as know what the registration number was for it back then.
Anyone have an idea of what I can do about the status change form when I give up looking for that dumb thing?
Why all of a sudden now I get an excise tax?
