I just moved in April 2019 from DC to MD and have owned a Model 3 since August 2018. I'm getting the sense from the MVA website that, because the car is less than 7 years old, I will have to pay MD sales tax (6%) on the car, even though I didn't buy it while living in MD. It appears that if I had paid taxes in DC, I would simply pay the difference, but since DC taxes hybrids at 0%, then I'll end up owing the entire 6%. Are there no tax breaks in MD for hybrids or EVs? Will I pay taxes on the current value of the car, or the price I purchased it for?
