You are allowed to deduct the greater of state income taxes paid or sales taxes. There is a standard amount for sales taxes that varies by individual income levels and locations and you are allowed to tack on sales tax on "major purchases" (boat, car) to the standard amount.
We have the same with respect to the greater amount of state income tax vs. sales tax but we don't have the "standard amound for sales tax that varies by individual income levels and locations" part.

Standard amounts by state http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p600.pdf see page 5. It says 2006, but its good for 2007. You get to tack on sales tax paid on major purchases to these standard amounts.

5.5% -7% sales tax depending on if you live in a city limit.
$15 for a title
$65 registration fee every 3 years.
No other personal property taxes
That is assuming you don't USCG register it. If you register it USCG then all you pay is teh USCG stuff. You don't have to register it at all with the state or pay any taxes.

When did Nebraska get rid of personal property tax?
Last time I lived there, 1989 they had it

Oh, and then the trailer tag is extra as well

No personal property tax in NJ but I pay over $10K on my 2 bedroom house every year. I think the sales tax thing on a used boat sucks,every time its sold it gets paid again. How many times can you tax the same boat? AS many times as its sold. Doug
