I too ran into this same problem when I moved from NH to Mass.
However, there are 2 things to remember:
	1) This person (as I did) bought the car in Mass.
So, just like anything else that this person may have bought in
Mass., he is charged a sales tax.  If he had come  into Mass. to 
buy a stereo (for instance), he could not get out of paying a sales
tax by saying he was from Vermont so he shouldn't have to pay one.
	2) In my case, when I proved that I had the car delivered
to NH (or I believe if I had in fact bought the car in NH), then
there would have been no sales tax.  In fact, this was the very case
with my motorcycle: I bought it in NH, so when I registered it in
Mass, no sales tax!

In the Vermonter's case, I believe if he could've come up with some
document showing he had paid in Vermont (all I needed was my old
NH registration), then he would have been alright.  However, this
might be just a case of beaurocratic inconsistences.
