Dealer Information > RV and Cargo Trailer Sales - Nonresident Sales Tax Exemption RV and Cargo Trailer Sales - Nonresident Sales Tax Exemption

Effective July 1, 2006 the purchase of a recreational vehicle or cargo trailer (as defined in I.C. 6-2.5-5-39) by a nonresident, to be registered and/or titled outside Indiana will be afforded an exemption if the state where the vehicle is to be registered allows a similar exemption to an Indiana resident.

The Department of Revenue has developed a ST-137RV form for dealers.

The dealer must keep a copy of the ST-137RV to document the exempt RV or cargo trailer sale to a nonresident. The ST-137RV form contains an affidavit the buyer and dealer must sign.

For more detailed information please access the Sales Tax Exemption for RV’s & Cargo Trailers FAQs or Sales Tax Information Bulletin #72.
