Lease Vehicles

Taxation on a lease vehicle

  • 6% tax is charged on the Cap Cost Reduction at time of filing.
  • Minus the net trade in allowance (only if previously titled in WV).
  • The leasing company will collect 5% of the lease payment as tax and remit this to the Division monthly.

Transfer of Plates/Other Information

  • A license plate can be transferred between vehicles within the same leasing company (transfer fees apply)
  • May transfer special plates with a letter from the customer relinquishing the rights to the leasing company (transfer fees apply).
  • The leasing company’s address must appear on form DMV-1L. That is the address that will appear on the title and registration. If you need the plate and registration card special mailed to the lessee, then you must include a special mail envelope.
