PST Used Vehicle Tax Appraisal

Pay Tax Only on Your Vehicle’s TRUE Market Value — Not the Black Book Average

Since October 2022, PST on a private used-vehicle purchase in BC is calculated from the Canadian Black Book average for the year, make and model — not the price you actually paid, and not the condition your vehicle is actually in. High kilometres, accident history, needed repairs? The average ignores all of it, and you pay tax on money you never spent.

A FIN-320 appraisal is the government’s own fix: a licensed appraiser documents your vehicle’s true value, and you pay PST on that number instead.
