The tax thing is true. Manitoba public insurance will charge you retail tax on the highest of the selling price or wholesale value. So even if you sell it to them for 1$ They will still charge you the tax on the wholesale value (only 7% I think, no PST)
I think ken is right though, your best bet is to go the "gifting route"
Car insurance in Manitoba is public, so most of the information you will need can be found on one website. http://www.mpi.mb.ca/
Not the easiest to navigate, but should have the info you need. |
Thanks to both of you for the gifting idea, I will explore this. The reason for the novel of the post was just to ensure that my girlfriend can actually gift it back as I am unsure if her sister could legally sell it to her in the first place. Also to clarify that if the car originated in MB it can still be taxed again?
