Capital Tax Recovery (CTR) contracts with CT municipalities to identify and investigate motor vehicles within the City/Town that have not been reported for tax purposes. CTR manages and maintains all investigative files under review by the municipalities. All correspondence must be submitted to CTR directly. 

Because you have received a letter informing you of a potential tax liability, this webpage will assist you in understanding Connecticut motor vehicle tax laws.

If you do not disagree with the potential tax liability, no further action is needed; your vehicle(s) will be added to the City/Town’s motor vehicle grand list. You will receive a tax bill in the mail.

After reviewing the information, if you disagree with the potential liability or believe it does not apply to your situation, you must submit your written argument and provide documentation supporting your claim within 21 days (from the date of the initial letter). With no response, actions as described in the notification letter will proceed.

If you disputed the claims in the initial letter, you may receive a second communication requesting additional information to support your claim. Additional documents must be submitted within 21 days (from the date of the second letter).

You are creating an electronic file that CTR will review and share with the City/Town that sent the letter. The uploaded documents will be reviewed and considered in your dispute. Be thorough and upload as many supporting documents as possible to validate your dispute. The VehicalTaxHelp.com website is for informational purposes only and to assist you in creating and sending your dispute information to CTR. If you submit your dispute through this website, you will receive an email with the decision letter attached when the review is completed. If you send the dispute by mail, you will be sent the decision letter by mail. *Please note that submitting a written explanation and requested supporting documents does not guarantee your dispute will be accepted.
