In many states the "registration" fee itself is NOT deductible. Only that portion of the fee that is a property tax based on the vehicles value is deductible. Not all states have a vehicle property tax. Most states that do will list it separately on the registration bill.
In California, for example, the following is a list of the various fees that may be included in your annual vehicle registration payment:
- Registration Fee
-Vehicle License Fee (This is the fee that may be an income tax deduction)
-Weight Fee
-Special Plate Fee
-County/District Fees
-Owner Responsibility Fee
