What is Appraisal letter?
An appraisal letter is an official document that gives an up-to-date evaluation of a vehicle based on its current state, including its mechanical condition, body, interior, odometer reading (KM), and history, such as accidents, commercial or rental use, and whether it was registered out of province or country.
How does it work?
Save hundreds on HST tax when transferring vehicle ownership at Service Ontario by paying tax on the actual market value rather than the wholesale/book value listed on the UVIP. If a vehicle has high mileage, excessive wear, severe damage (mechanical, body, or interior), or a history of accidents, rental, or out-of-province use, its appraised value may be lower. For vehicles over 20 years old, Service Ontario requires an appraisal letter since their market or wholesale value isn’t listed. Already paid the tax? You may be eligible for a refund within 60 days — contact us to learn more!
