The real GL tax problem lies in the fact that certain states collect tax on vehicles at the time of registration (through DMV). GL, however, does not distinguish between a vehicle and a chair, so they collect 5% MD tax for anything sold in MD. If I buy a vehicle in PA, I do not pay PA tax on that vehicle. MD will charge me tax at the time of registration.
Of course, since GL also gives you useless paperwork for obtaining a title in MD, I don't see why they would care about treating a vehicle correctly when it comes to taxation....
