How to Fill Out a Bill of Sale in Manitoba

A step-by-step guide to every field on a Manitoba vehicle bill of sale — with a free filled-in example you can download instantly.

A Manitoba bill of sale is really a two-part document: the standard fields (parties, VIN, odometer, price, date, signatures) plus the line unique to this province — who pays for what the Pre-Registration Inspection finds. Every privately sold vehicle in Manitoba faces the PRI without exception, so the repair-responsibility allocation belongs in writing before the inspection report exists. The 7% RST is assessed on the higher of price and wholesale value, and MPI processes tax, transfer, and the buyer's insurance in one system — bring the completed document there.

Step-by-Step: Every Field Explained

1

Seller Information

  • Full legal name (exactly as on the vehicle registration)
  • Current mailing address
  • City, province, postal code
  • Phone number (optional but recommended)
Tip: Spell it the way the registration does, not the way friends do — Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) checks the transfer against the recorded owner.
2

Buyer Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, province, postal code
  • Phone number (optional)
Tip: Put down the exact name the buyer's identification carries — the registration built from this line has to survive an ID check. Co-buyers each appear by full name.
3

Vehicle Description

  • Vehicle year (4-digit)
  • Make (manufacturer — e.g., Ford, Toyota, Honda)
  • Model (e.g., F-150, Camry, Civic)
  • Body style (e.g., sedan, pickup, SUV, minivan)
  • Colour
  • VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) — 17 characters, found on the dashboard plate or driver's door jamb
  • Odometer reading at time of sale (km)
Tip: Verify the VIN twice — once against the dashboard plate, once against the title. A single transposed character is enough to bounce the paperwork.
4

Sale Details & Tax

  • Sale price in Canadian dollars (write both numerals and words — e.g., "$12,500 — Twelve thousand five hundred dollars")
  • Payment method (cash, bank draft, e-transfer)
  • Date of sale (day / month / year)
  • Note: buyer owes 7% RST on the sale price at registration — calculated by Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI)
Tip: the 7% RST tax follows this line, and Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) knows what the vehicle is worth; the accurate price is also the fastest one.
5

Seller Signature

  • Seller's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
  • Sign over the odometer/transfer section on the registration certificate as well
Tip: There's no notary step in Manitoba — once both parties sign, the document is done. Store your copy somewhere you'll still find it in five years.
6

Buyer Signature & Next Steps

  • Buyer's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Prepare duplicate originals before signing so neither side leaves with only a promise of a copy. The Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) transfer follows within 7 days — signed registration and photo ID in hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Manitoba-specific line belongs on the bill of sale?
The PRI allocation: which party funds the repairs the mandatory Pre-Registration Inspection flags. Every private sale faces the PRI, so deals that skip this line reconvene as disputes after the report lands.
How is Manitoba's tax calculated?
7% RST on the higher of the declared price and average wholesale value, collected through MPI with the transfer — the wholesale floor makes lowball declarations pointless.
Where does the paperwork go?
To MPI (Manitoba Public Insurance), which handles the transfer, RST collection, and the buyer's insurance together — one system, one visit, with the PRI scheduled around it.
