57-40.3-08. Presumption
For the purpose of the proper administration of this chapter and to prevent evasion of the
tax, the following presumptions apply:
1. Evidence that a motor vehicle was sold for delivery in this state is prima facie evidence
that it was sold for use in this state.
2. When an application for registration plates or for a certificate of title for a motor vehicle
is received by the director of the department of transportation within thirty days of the
date it was purchased or acquired by the purchaser, it must be presumed, until the
contrary is shown by the purchaser, that it was purchased or acquired for use on the
streets and highways of this state. This presumption applies whether or not such
vehicle was previously titled or registered in another state.
