Free Yukon General Bill of Sale
A general bill of sale in the Yukon covers the equipment that makes life here possible — generators, snowmobiles, chainsaws, welders, quads, tools, camp gear. Nothing registers the transfer, distances make inspection expensive, and the nearest replacement part may be a flight away. The document therefore carries a heavier load than its southern equivalent: it identifies the item, allocates the risk, and — crucially — records the condition and service history that determine whether the buyer has bought a working machine or an expensive problem.

Yukon General Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Tax Details
GST/HST may apply if the seller is a GST-registered business. Private individual-to-individual sales of used personal property are typically exempt.
Exemption: Private sales between individuals who are not GST registrants are generally exempt from GST. Transfers between immediate family members may also qualify for a reduced or waived registration fee adjustment — confirm with Yukon MV.
Inspection Requirements
No inspection is required for general personal-property sales.
Yukon General Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Identify the item precisely: make, model, year, serial number, hours, condition, included accessories.
- Record a real service history: repairs, replacements, and how hard the item has been worked.
- State the price, the payment method, and the date possession changed.
- Write an explicit as-is, where-is clause if that is the deal.
- Buying remotely? Make the deal conditional on an inspection, or agree in writing what happens if the item is not as described.
- Settle transport in writing: who moves the item, when, and at whose risk.
- Both parties sign and keep copies.
Common Pitfalls
- Buying an expensive machine sight-unseen with no inspection condition written into the deal.
- Skipping the service history on equipment whose reliability is the entire reason for buying it.
- Leaving transport unallocated across long distances.
- Describing the item without a serial number.
Pro Tip
In the Yukon the bill of sale buys a working machine or an expensive lesson. Serial number, service history, transport terms, inspection condition — write all four.
