Don’t you get a pass on CA state sales tax if you show you registered it and physically moved it to another state? That’s what Oregon buyers do when they buy in Washington.
There is no such thing as a "pass" on ANY kind of tax in California. Every day the legislature is in session they are dreaming up more and more new taxes to impose on anything they can think of.
We all remember Ben Franklin's quip about the only two certainties in life are death and taxes. In California, the only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get any worse when the legislature meets.
