Moving state leasing Tax question

,

Planning to lease a car in NJ and intending to move to Cali soon. Would it advisable to lease here and move to Cali or lease in Cali itself?

How does my tax on car lease get affected? Should I opt to pay tax monthly or upfront?

Thanks.

You should wait until you get to CA, else you’ll get to pay tax in NJ and then tax on the whole payment in ca

What if I don’t pay tax upfront and build it into my monthly payments? That way I will pay NJ tax until I am here and Cali tax from when I move there?

NJ tax is always paid up front. If you roll it into the monthly payment, the bank pays all of it up front and the entire amount gets included in the base payment. When you move to CA, you’ll pay tax on the entire base payment, which will include all of the NJ tax.
