PHOENIX — Out of staters who want to buy cars and RVs in Arizona won’t be able to escape sales taxes if they come here to take delivery.
Gov. Katie Hobbs rejected a proposal Monday sought on behalf of Lucid Motors that would have allowed visitors to buy a car here and then drive it off without paying the taxes.
Hobbs, in her veto letter, did not specifically dispute arguments offered by Rep. Teresa Martinez that the legislation could create some economic benefit. The Casa Grande Republican argued it would generate tourism for her area, with those visitors then spending money in Arizona.
