Tax and tags are what is added onto the price of the vehicle after you've negotiated the actual cost of that vehicle. This includes the taxes that you have to pay to the state and all the tags - the license, the registration - that go to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Tags are all the fees and processes for the Department of Motor Vehicles - so your license, registration fees; all the governmental procedural processes.
