INSTRUCTIONS
This form must be completed by all transferees and transferors and submitted with Form MV-1, MV-4ST
or Applicant Summary Statement, for any transfer for which a gift exemption (Exemption 13) for purposes
of Pennsylvania Sales and Use Tax is claimed. NOTE: Individuals should list their PA Driver’s License
(PA DL) or Photo ID# in the space provided. Businesses should list their Business ID# (Bus. ID) where
indicated (i.e. E.I.N.).
NOTE: This exemption may be used for vehicles currently titled in Pennsylvania and for vehicles given as
a “Gift” that are transferred on an out-of-state title. The donor of a vehicle purchased out-of-state that is to
be given as a “Gift”, must provide proof that sales tax was paid in a reciprocal state. The following items
may be provided as proof that sales tax was paid in a reciprocal state:
1.
An affidavit from the donor indicating sales tax was paid on the vehicle. The affidavit must
contain the VIN of the vehicle being gifted and must be submitted with 1) a copy of the
donor’s cancelled check, and 2) either a photocopy of the bill of sale or a notarized affidavit
from the previous dealership that indicates the amount of sales tax paid.
2.
Written documentation from the previous title/registration jurisdiction.
3.
Copy of the donor’s out-of-state registration card (provided they are reciprocal with
Pennsylvania). If sales tax is not printed on the registration card, verification from the
previous title jurisdiction, indicating registration is not issued until sales tax is paid would
be required.
4.
The out-of-state certificate of title showing the amount of sales tax paid (provided they are
reciprocal with Pennsylvania).
5.
An affidavit from the out-of-state dealership indicating amount of sales tax paid.
If no proof that sales tax was paid is available, or the sales tax was paid in a non-reciprocal state, sales
tax must be paid on the current fair market value of the vehicle.
