State guidance or manual entry

Tax method typical for North Dakota; check your contract. No combined rate is known here. Enter your local contract rate. Qualifying passenger leases of at least one year are taxed upfront on lease consideration, not the whole vehicle value. Down payments and acquisition fees are included. Factory rebates, documentation, title/registration and specified optional charges are excluded. Other vehicles/terms can use purchase-price tax. Generic upfront_total adds rebates and blanket fees; North Dakota excludes some of those items. Confirm vehicle weight and the exact consideration base.

Tax acquisition and document fees

Controls separate acquisition/document fee tax. In monthly-tax mode, capitalized fees remain inside the taxed payment. Verify local exceptions.

Roll upfront tax into the lease

How the lease is taxed (estimate)

The engine models four broad methods, not every local exception. Ask for an itemized tax calculation.
