I stand corrected, In Georgia you are correct.. Looks like they might be changing the laws in Georgia soon.
Most states require you to pay a sales tax after purchasing a used car from a private seller. Generally, you can expect to pay the tax when you visit your state's department of motor
vehicles to register the car for new license plates in your name. The exact process will vary depending on the state. For example, in California, you're required to visit a department of motor vehicles office within 10 days of the sale and pay a use tax that is based on the sales tax of the California county you live in. In Illinois, you have 20 days to pay a use tax that is based on the model year of the vehicle if the car costs less than $15,000 or on the selling price if you paid more than $15,000.
