Do i pay sales tax if i buy a house?

-Do i have to pay sales tax if i purchase a homeNot generally a "sales tax" but many states have "transfer tax" and "recording" fees that amount to a one-time tax. In NH, for instance, it is currently15 dollars per thousand dollars of what you paid, plus a small fee for each page that you want recorded in the county registry of deeds.



As a habit, the transfer tax is split evenly between buyer and seller at closing, thus each would be responsible for $7.50 per thousand, unless otherwise agreed.
You do not pay sales tax on the purchase of the home.



You have to pay sales tax on other things, the same as if you did not purchase a home.



You also have to pay taxes on homes, but not sales tax.
not yet but part of the Obama health care bill(and what has that to do with buying a house?) in 2013 there will be sale tax on the purchase of a home
Yes and no. The builder pays sales tax on materials he buys to build the house. Those will be figured into the price you pay.
in most states no, but many have real estate transfer taxes.
