Md. MVA clarifies limits on dealer processing charges
The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration recently sent an alert in response to questions about the processing charges a dealer can impose for paperwork and administrative functions. The charge limit increased on July 1, 2011, to $200 and will increase again on July 1, 2014, to $300.
Maryland dealers should also be aware that the optional processing charge to consumers is taxable and must be included in the 6 percent excise tax calculation.
