Just wait until the IRS learns about the waves sales tax...
I think he was trying to say there was no sales tax because he didn't register the truck or the trailer. There's no way he waived a piece of paper in front of the DMV and they said "oh yeah, you're totally exempt."
You pay sales tax when registering the truck and not when buying it?
In some states you do. Even if you already own the vehicle and move that said state, you have to pay a sales tax...
Sales tax is for transfer of title (i.e. ownership). Registration is to get license plates (number plates), to legally drive on public roads.
I bet what they didn't have to pay are "registration fees".
The dealer didn't waive the tax. They took it off the sticker price, presented the idiot with the lower number and said, "OK! Waived!"

IRS doesn't care about sales tax. That's a state thing--usually enforced when you register the car, which apparently didn't happen.
