HB 2185 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Modify how sales tax is collected on seller financed vehicle transactions

HB 2185 changes how sales tax is collected on private vehicle sales where the seller provides financing (not a dealership). Instead of paying the full 6% tax upfront when the car is sold, sellers would pay tax on each monthly payment as they receive it, based on 6% of the payment amount. This applies to all seller-financed vehicle transactions in West Virginia, spreading the tax collection over the entire loan term. The bill directly affects private sellers in these transactions, not buyers or dealers.
