about us

At BC Auto Appraisals, we want to help our customers in Victoria with saving tax on their vehicle. As of October 1st, 2022, British Columbians purchasing Pre-Owned Vehicles privately must pay Transfer Tax based on the Average Canadian Black Book Wholesale Value, determined by Year, Make, and Model.

This valuation does not encompass physical condition, mechanical state, mileage, maintenance history, accidents, or other variables affecting your vehicle’s worth. If your vehicle falls below average in any of these aspects, our Licensed Appraisal Experts can provide a Professional Vehicle Appraisal.

Each used vehicle is distinct, and we advocate for taxing based on its true value, considering all factors. BC Auto Appraisals’ experts can guide you through the process for a seamless transaction.

Do you need auto Appraisal

Do You Need a Vehicle Appraisal?

Your vehicle’s below-average condition may qualify you for tax savings. Factors such as excess mileage, mechanical issues, maintenance needs, body damage, accident history, and more can reduce your tax liability when assessed with a Professional Vehicle Appraisal. BC Auto Appraisals’ licensed experts will assist you during your vehicle purchase, helping you retain your hard-earned money by avoiding unnecessary ICBC Vehicle Tax expenses.

If BC Auto Appraisals’ assigned value is lower than ICBC’s Average Canadian Black Book valuation, you’ll only be taxed on the higher of the two: BC Auto Appraisals’ assessment or the private Purchase Price of your vehicle.
