Chapter 10-12 Out-of-State Dealers Out-of-State Dealer Not Required to Register with DOR Effective November 30, 2015, out-of-state dealers are no longer required to be registered with the Department of Revenue (DOR). Therefore, the RMV is no longer required to contact DOR when an Application for Registratin and Title (RMV-1) indicates the seller is an out-of-state dealer. This will speed up the transaction time and reduce the number of calls to DOR. New Process for Determining Sale as Dealer or Casual For vehicle sales from out-of-state dealers, check to the RMV-1 Form and the bill of sale. * If you can identify the seller as a dealer based on the name and documentation provided (for example, "ABC Auto Sales"), the transaction should be processed as a dealer sale with no call to DOR required. * If you cannot identify the seller as a dealer based on the name and documentation provided (for example, "John Smith Inc."), process the transaction as a casual sale. Hav the customer pay the tax and instruct him/her to apply for an abatement through the DOR using "Form - ABT - Application for Abatement". NOTE: This change ony affects sales from out-of-state dealers. Three is no change to the polcy for contacting DOR for vehicles purchased from Massachusetts dealers or for verifying leasing company information. Continue to follow the current process of contacting DOR if you need to verify a Massachusetts dealer. 12/15 10:115
