anya said:What the heck is Ad Valorum tax anyway? Is that latin for "Meaningless Bullshit Tax"? They can only tax you on the purchase of your car once so they just invent some dumbass crap to tax you repetitively on your vehicle.
Ad Valorum taxes are based on evaluations rather than transactions. The evaluation process is determined by various criteria related to the item in a given market.
That and its a nifty way to bend you over and pick your pocket.
