How to Fill Out a Bill of Sale in Prince Edward Island

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

PEI's bill of sale is completed alongside the seller's clearest obligation in Canada: providing the current Motor Vehicle Inspection certificate, without which the buyer simply cannot register. Note the MVI's date on the document, complete the standard fields, and write the true price — PEI taxes the ACTUAL declaration at 15% HST with no book floor, so the honest figure is the taxed figure. Small province, clean rules: PEI Access processes the transfer, and the island's short driving season makes storage and winterization history worth a line of their own.

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: The name here must be the name on the ownership papers; nicknames and initials stall the paperwork at Access PEI.
2

Buyer Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, province, postal code
  • Phone number (optional)
Tip: Buyers: use your legal name as your ID shows it; Access PEI matches this document against identification at transfer. Joint ownership? Name every purchaser.
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: Treat the VIN as untrusted until confirmed twice: vehicle first, ownership papers second, and only then the form.
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 15% HST on the sale price at registration — calculated by Access PEI
Tip: the 15% HST tax in Prince Edward Island is calculated from this line (cross-checked against market value), so the honest price is the only one that works.
5

Seller Signature

  • Seller's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
  • Sign over the odometer/transfer section on the registration certificate as well
Tip: Prince Edward Island asks for no notary on this document — the two signatures complete it. Keep a copy of the signed page for several years.
6

Buyer Signature & Next Steps

  • Buyer's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Two originals, both fully signed, one per party — the cheap habit that wins later disputes. Access PEI expects the transfer inside 30 days, registration certificate signed and identification ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who provides the inspection certificate on PEI?
The seller — PEI requires a current MVI for the sale, and the buyer cannot register without it. Record its date on the bill of sale and treat it as a closing document, not an afterthought.
How is PEI's tax calculated?
15% HST on the actual declared sale price — no wholesale floor — so the negotiated price is the tax base, provided it's plausible.
What island-specific line helps?
Storage and winterization history: PEI vehicles spend long off-seasons parked, and the off-season regimen decides the condition the buyer inherits.
