What to know about cash sale sales in Vermont
Accepting cash eliminates chargeback risk, but brings IRS reporting obligations. If you receive more than $10,000 in cash in one transaction (or related transactions), you must file IRS Form 8300 (Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business) within 15 days. Ensure you provide a receipt and accurate bill of sale to document the transaction.
What to include in your bill of sale
- Full legal names and addresses for both buyer and seller.
- Side by Side make, model, year, VIN, and current mileage.
- Agreed sale price, payment method, and transaction date.
- Any cash sale-specific disclosures required in Vermont.

Buyer guidance
Carry large sums of cash only after verifying the vehicle title and condition. Use a cashier's check or wire transfer for high-value vehicles to reduce risk. Bring the seller to the bank if needed to verify funds. Once cash changes hands, recovery of fraud is very difficult.
Legal considerations
IRS Form 8300 is required for cash payments exceeding $10,000 under 26 U.S.C. § 6050I and 31 U.S.C. § 5331. The seller must provide a written statement to the buyer by January 31 of the following year. State sales tax is typically calculated on the bill of sale price; under-reporting sale price to reduce tax is tax fraud.
