The confusing part is comparing car registrations cost between NH and Mass.
NH has a nominal fee every year to register your car, based on vehicle weight plus a usually higher tax every year, based on value of the car.
Mass has an annual nominal fee, an annual excise tax and a one-time sales tax. I think they now pay there registrations on a longer period than one year.
If you total the tax burden NH is much lower, but people often forget to include excise and sales tax in the Mass. side.
