EXCISE TAX
Excise Calculation:
A rate of $25 per one thousand dollars of valuation is levied annually on each motor vehicle. The value for automobiles is taken from the National Automobile Dealers Association Official Used Car Guide (NADA).
The Excise tax will be prorated monthly to cover the months owed for a vehicle registered after January or to refund for a vehicle sold.
Information for excise bills are sent to the town from the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
This includes amount, name and address. Any changes in your name and address must be reported directly to the RMV online website at www.marmv.com or (617)351-9380.
