Yes. You can certainly deduct the tax whether it is charged on a new or used car. Generally speaking, one can only make a sales tax deduction that is equal to what was paid when the vehicle was purchased by adding it to the Sales Tax Table for your state, as well as the vehicle registration fees that you paid, if your state bases the fee on the value of your car. Furthermore, those expenses are deductible if itemized only. In the case of sales tax, it needs to be higher than the state income tax that was paid.
