Reply to comment by ngfdsa in Excise tax insanity at the DMV... More than the cost of the vehicle! by abovethe_clouds
huh? family transfers (parent to kid for example) are excise-tax free.
how do I know? I've done this myself. took 10 min at the Georgetown DMV and they didn't ask any extra questions.

If the car is registered in someone else's name in another state, you have to pay the excise tax when you register it in DC if the name on the title is changing. It doesn't matter if it's a family member. The family member tax exemption only applies when it's changing ownership between two DC residents.
If the car is already in your name when you register it in DC, you don't pay the excise tax.
