Why do Massachusetts Ford dealers charge a documentation fee?

A documentation fee covers the dealer’s paperwork on a sale, including title, registration and contract processing. Massachusetts Department of Revenue, Directive 14-1 (2014), treats a separately stated document preparation fee as part of the sales price subject to the 6.25% sales tax.

The Massachusetts rule applies to retail sales across the state. Ask for an itemized quote at any dealer, and compare the total with tax, title and registration, because the state’s rules do not require the fee’s components to be itemized.
