Overview
Bills of Sale in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania requires a bill of sale for motor vehicle private sales to complete title transfer at PennDOT. Pennsylvania uses Form MV-4ST (Vehicle Sales and Use Tax Return/Application for Registration) which combines the bill of sale and tax return.
Pennsylvania charges 6% sales tax on vehicle purchases. For private sales where the purchase price is significantly below market value, PennDOT may use the "book value" for tax calculation.
