Mass Excise Tax Fees
====================

The tax depends on the vehicle age. For this program we only calculate the
excise tax on the first year of purchase.
https://www.sec.state.ma.us/divisions/cis/tax/motor-excise.htm

Vehicle Age	Percentage of List Price
In the year preceding the model year
(brand new car released before model year)	50%
In the model year	90%
In the second year	60%
In the third year	40%
In the fourth year	25%
In the fifth and succeeding years	10%
