Prince Edward Island Free Printable Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Tax Details
Prince Edward Island charges 15% HST on private vehicle sales. HST is calculated on the actual declared sale price — PEI does not apply a wholesale book-value floor for private-to-private transactions.
Exemption: Transfers between immediate family members may qualify for an HST exemption with a sworn statutory declaration. Confirm eligibility with PEI Access.
Inspection Requirements
The seller must provide a current Motor Vehicle Inspection (MVI) certificate before the sale can be completed. The MVI must be performed at a licensed inspection station on the Island. Without a valid MVI, the buyer cannot register the vehicle. The certificate is time-limited — confirm validity before completing the sale.
Prince Edward Island Free Printable Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Download the free PDF bill of sale template and print two copies — one for each party.
- Fill out both copies completely at the time of sale: do not leave fields blank.
- Record the full VIN (17 characters), current odometer reading, agreed sale price, and date.
- Both buyer and seller sign both copies in the presence of each other.
- Each party retains one original signed copy.
- Prepare a bill of sale: full legal names and addresses, VIN, year/make/model, odometer reading, sale price, and date
- Remove your licence plates — PEI plates stay with the seller and can be transferred to a replacement vehicle
- Buyer brings signed ownership document, bill of sale, valid MVI certificate, PEI driver's licence, and proof of insurance to PEI Access
- Buyer pays 15% HST on the declared sale price (no Red Book floor for PEI private sales)
- Transfer must be completed within 10 days of the sale date
- Both parties retain a signed copy of the bill of sale for at least 6 years
Common Pitfalls
- Printing only one copy and expecting to photocopy it after — always print two originals and have both signed at the time of sale.
- Leaving the sale price blank — a blank price field can be filled in fraudulently after signing. Always write the agreed price, even if it is $1.
- Using an incomplete form: a valid bill of sale must include both parties' full legal names and addresses, the VIN, and the sale date.
- Missing the 10-day transfer deadline — the seller remains the registered owner until transfer is complete. PEI's close-knit community makes post-sale liability issues particularly visible.
- Selling without a valid MVI — unlike Nova Scotia's 7-day temporary permit workaround, PEI requires the MVI to be in place before registration. Without it, the buyer cannot legally plate the vehicle.
Pro Tip
PEI Access in Charlottetown on Weymouth Street handles the majority of vehicle transfers on the Island. A smaller access point operates in Summerside. For most Islanders, the entire purchase-to-registration process — MVI, bill of sale, and transfer — can be completed in a single day. Get the MVI done early in the transaction to avoid last-minute scheduling issues at inspection stations.
