12% at a dealer, 7% privately. Manitoba's retail sales tax is 7%, and a dealer adds the 5% GST on top. A private seller charges no GST, so a private sale carries the 7% RST alone.
| Buying in Manitoba | Tax |
|---|---|
| From a dealer | 7% RST plus 5% GST |
| From a private seller | 7% RST, charged when you register the car |
On the car's value, not only the price. RST on a privately bought vehicle is charged on the greater of the price and the Canadian Black Book average wholesale price for Manitoba. It is collected by Manitoba Public Insurance or an Autopac agent when you register the car. A low number on the bill of sale does not lower it.
Whether the car was badly damaged. Dealers must be licensed in Manitoba and are held to a higher standard than private sellers. A licensed dealer must disclose in writing any damage from one incident that cost more than $3,000 to repair. A private seller owes you none of that, so run the history report and the lien search yourself.
Three in our network, from $5,000 to $200,000. Rates start at 6.93% and run up to the 35% federal cap. All three pay out within two days. Two consider poor credit, and one sets no minimum score. Income minimums run from $1,500 to $2,500 a month. Our application reaches all three at once, and the approval travels with you to any dealer or private seller.
Every car lender we work with is on the car loans in Canada page.
