Bill of Sale in Calgary, AB

Calgary is Alberta's largest city and one of the busiest private vehicle markets in Canada. With no provincial sales tax and no GST on a private sale between individuals, Calgary buyers and sellers enjoy some of the cheapest private vehicle transactions in the country. Calgary's strong truck, SUV, and RV culture — driven by oil-and-gas industry demand and mountain recreation — keeps the private market especially active.

Provincial requirements (Alberta)

Alberta has no provincial sales tax, and GST does not apply when a private individual (not a GST registrant) sells a vehicle — so a private sale in Alberta carries no sales tax. Buying from a dealer adds 5% GST. An Out-of-Province Inspection is required for vehicles brought in from other provinces. Alberta uses its own bill of sale form (REG 3126).

Calgary Bill of Sale FAQs

Where can I get a safety inspection in Calgary?
Any licensed motor vehicle inspection station in Calgary can issue a safety inspection. Canadian Tire, Kal Tire, and most independent mechanics offer them; prices vary. Note: safety inspections are not mandatory for Alberta private sales unless the vehicle is from out-of-province.
How much is GST on a $20,000 car in Calgary?
None on a private sale. GST does not generally apply between private individuals, and Alberta has no PST, so the total is $20,000 before registration fees. Buying from a dealer adds 5% GST ($1,000). Compare this to at least $2,600 in RST (13%) on the same private purchase in Toronto.
Do I need an Out-of-Province Inspection if I'm buying from outside Alberta?
Yes. If the vehicle is currently registered in another province or country, you'll need an Out-of-Province Vehicle Inspection (OPVI) at a licensed Calgary inspection station before you can register it in Alberta.
