 Effective October 1, 2022, if a motor vehicle is purchased at a private sale in B.C., purchased at a private sale in Canada and imported into B.C., or imported into B.C. from outside Canada, the value of the motor vehicle (for the purposes of calculating the PST due) is determined using the following rules:

•   At the time of registration, the average wholesale value of the motor vehicle is determined using the Canadian Black Book valuation guide.

•  If the average wholesale value of the motor vehicle is greater than the price paid for the motor vehicle, the average wholesale value is used for the purpose of calculating PST due.

•  If, at the time of registration, a purchaser presents the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) with a completed Motor Vehicle Appraisal Form (FIN 320) and the appraised value and the price paid are both less than the average wholesale value of the motor vehicle, the value, for the purpose of calculating PST due, is the greater of the price paid and the appraised value.

 Motor Vehicle Appraisals

 Under the new rules, you may obtain an appraisal for the retail value of a motor vehicle if you believe the actual value is less than the average wholesale value because of factors such as excessive wear, significant damage or mechanical defects. 

         Appraisals may be obtained by the purchaser or seller of the motor vehicle. Appraisals may be completed in person or remotely by a qualified appraiser. The appraiser must complete a Motor Vehicle Appraisal Form (FIN 320) and provide it to you. Present this appraisal to ICBC when you register the motor vehicle or include it with your refund application if you are applying to us for a refund.
