If you total the tax burden NH is much lower, but people often forget to include excise and sales tax in the Mass. side.

I found the registration to be higher in NH even when including the excise tax and breaking the sales tax down by the number of years I owned the truck at the time of registering it in NH. Just the plate here in NH was almost twice as much for one year to MA 2 year registration. Insurance is defiantly not cheaper if you get oranges for oranges. Like stated in the other thread NH really does fee the hell out of everything and those fee's are defiantly not going down now or any time soon and they sure mount up on a yearly basis.
