Do Disabled Veterans Pay Sales Tax on Vehicles in Michigan?
The Direct Answer: No, They Do Not.
Disabled veterans who purchase a vehicle in Michigan may not be required to pay sales tax, provided they meet specific requirements set by the Michigan Department of Veterans’ Affairs (MDVA). Here, we will dive deeper into the exemptions available to disabled veterans in Michigan.
The Requirements
To be exempt from sales tax on a vehicle, a disabled veteran must:
• Have a valid United States Department of Veterans’ Affairs (USDVA) rating indicating that they are 80% or more permanently and totally disabled, due to service-connected injuries.
• Hold a current title or a completed power of attorney document with their signature and title date for the vehicle in question.
What Qualifies as a Disability
In the case of 50% or greater, combined loss of hand loss means:
- 30-39 percent permanent disability
- 39% permanent impairment, due to injuries related to the loss of at least two significant bodily parts
This provision may help a higher number of veterans claim sales tax exemption. Note, hand loss includes but is not limited to: hand amputation, arm injury resulting in 1-arm/0-leg combination or the combination of missing eye or the hearing impairment equal to one complete organ. Keep in mind this percentage criteria apply as 40, 30-39 and 50, as combined total
