Premise for assessing RTA excise tax.
All trailers and all vehicles where MSRP is not available are taxed according to the most recent purchase price and purchase year and the depreciation rates in the RTA excise tax fee schedule. All other vehicles as noted on the first MSRP, the year of service or value year are taxed using the value of the vehicle and the RTA excise tax fee schedule. Current physical condition, mileage, or monetary value of a particular vehicle is not used to determine excise tax.
