New DMV Form for Highway Use Tax Refund
The Division of Motor Vehicles has announced a new form MVR-609A which is to be used by dealers and other third parties to seek the refund of Highway Use Tax paid on a motor vehicle returned by a purchaser within 90 days after purchase. Under North Carolina law, a vehicle purchaser who returns a motor vehicle within 90 days after purchase and receives a replacement for the returned vehicle or a refund of the purchase price paid to the seller, can seek a refund of Highway Use Tax within 30 days.
Although the customer traditionally uses an MVR-609 form to seek the refund, DMV has recognized that many customers are permitting other parties such as dealers to collect the refund on their behalf. Taking these scenarios into account, DMV has now adopted the MVR-609A form.
The MVR-609A must be signed by the purchaser and notarized with the purchaser authorizing the claimant (dealer or other third party) to receive the refund requested.
