Where do you pay the tax on a car in Quebec?

At the dealer, or at the SAAQ. From a dealer you pay 9.975% QST plus the 5% GST. From a private seller, the GST does not apply, and you pay the QST to the SAAQ when the registration is transferred. It is calculated on the higher of the vehicle's estimated value and the sale price, so a low number on the bill of sale does not lower it.

Who needs a permit to sell a car in Quebec?

Anyone who trades in road vehicles. A dealer must hold a permit from the Office de la protection du consommateur. An individual selling their own car needs none, so on a private sale the history report and the lien search are yours to run.

What is Quebec's high-cost line?

22 points over the Bank Rate. With the Bank Rate at 2.5%, the line is 24.5%. A car loan priced above it is high-cost credit. The lender must assess your capacity to repay before signing. You can cancel within 10 days of receiving your copy of the contract, at no cost.
