In some provinces, when registering a vehicle, you pay taxes based on the sale price. However, if the sale price is lower than the government’s book value (such as the Canadian Black Book in BC or the Canadian Red Book in ON), taxes may be charged on the higher book value instead of the actual sale price. A professional appraisal helps prove the vehicle’s true market value, ensuring you only pay tax on what it’s really worth.

For example, in British Columbia, submitting a FIN-320 form with an appraisal can reduce your assessed tax amount. In Ontario, attaching an appraisal to the 1159E form helps correct discrepancies between the book value and the real market price, preventing unnecessary overpayment.
