Not a purchase — VAT § 415-A recordkeeping on vehicles + major component parts • no hold • title-holder requirement does not apply (you are the source)

Counter checklist

  1. Recordkeeping

    Record source vehicle + cat in your VAT § 415-A log

    Maintain the record of vehicles and major component parts by weight in the manner prescribed by the Commissioner. The converter is explicitly a major component part — log it against the source vehicle's title or DMV ownership document.

  2. Recordkeeping

    Photograph cat against source vehicle at removal

    While not statutorily required at all yards, photographing the cat at removal alongside the source vehicle's VIN is the standard chain-of-custody practice and aids inspection compliance under VAT § 415-A(6).

  3. Posting

    Records must be available to Commissioner / police on demand

    Records must be produced and available for inspection by agents of the Commissioner or police officers during regular business hours.
