Here in Illinois one must prove that the sales tax was paid before registration is allowed. Since registration of a kayak costs less than the cost of processing the application, the whole thing is a tax issue. For boats purchased out of state, the difference between sales tax paid and the Illinois rate must be paid, unless more was paid out of state. But for a few bucks, it isn't so bad. We paddlers have been able to get the state to pay for access points [which for the disabled is a godsend and it isn't so bad for less adventurous paddlers, either] by pointing out that we are paying our fees.
