Free British Columbia Free Printable Bill of Sale

In BC the printable generic bill of sale is the OPTIONAL document: the mandatory one is the APV9T Transfer/Tax Form — the ICBC form the Autoplan broker processes, without which nothing transfers. Print a bill of sale anyway for what the APV9T doesn't hold: condition notes, as-is terms, included extras, deposit arrangements — the contractual texture that matters in a dispute. Just never confuse the two: a beautifully printed bill of sale with no APV9T is a souvenir, and an APV9T with no bill of sale is a transfer with no terms record.

Tax Details

The printed price is a starting point, not the tax base: the broker applies 12% PST (15%/20% above $125,000/$150,000) to the greater of that figure and the Black Book average wholesale value.

Exemption: Recording the family relationship on the printed form supports a PST gift-exemption claim; above $100,000, remember the federal Luxury Tax line item exists regardless.

Inspection Requirements

A BC template needs no inspection checkbox for local sales — none is required. Add one only for out-of-province vehicles, which must pass a Designated Inspection Facility check ($150–$250) before they can register.

British Columbia Free Printable Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist

  1. Complete the APV9T with the seller — the mandatory transfer document.
  2. Print the bill of sale for the terms: condition, as-is language, extras, deposit.
  3. Record the true price on both — the PST assessment reads it against wholesale value.
  4. Process the APV9T at an Autoplan broker; keep the bill of sale copies privately.

Common Pitfalls

  • Selling on a printed bill of sale alone — the APV9T is what transfers a BC vehicle.
  • Terms living only in text messages because "the APV9T covers it" — it doesn't hold conditions.
  • Prices that disagree between the two documents.
  • US templates with notary and title language BC doesn't use.

Pro Tip

BC printables: APV9T for the transfer, your printed page for the terms — two documents, two jobs, one matching price.

British Columbia Free Printable Bill of Sale — FAQs

Is a printable bill of sale legally sufficient in BC?
For the transfer, no — the APV9T Transfer/Tax Form processed at an Autoplan broker is the mandatory instrument. The bill of sale is the parties' terms record: condition, as-is language, extras — valuable, but supplementary.
Why print one at all then?
Because the APV9T doesn't record terms: what condition was disclosed, what was included, what deposit was paid. In any later dispute, the printed bill of sale is the only document that speaks.
What must match between the documents?
The price above all — the PST assessment uses it (against the wholesale floor), and disagreement between your bill of sale and the APV9T invites exactly the scrutiny sellers want to avoid.
