Depends on the state. If you live in a state where you pay taxes as you go (i.e., a portion of each month's lease payment is for sales tax), then you typically just pay the taxes on the residual if you buy at the end. That makes sense, because you haven't paid tax on the residual yet. You don't usually have to re-pay tax you've already paid.
