The service
PST Appraisal BC ("we") provides opinions of the fair market value of vehicles bought in private sales in British Columbia, for use with BC provincial sales tax. We base each appraisal on the information and photos you provide.
Your responsibilities
You confirm that the information and photos you send are accurate, complete and of the vehicle described. An appraisal based on false or misleading information is not valid, and you are responsible for any consequences of using one.
The appraised value
The appraised value is our independent professional opinion. It may be higher or lower than your purchase price or the Canadian Black Book value. Paying for an appraisal doesn't guarantee a particular value or tax saving.
Use with the government
Whether and how the appraisal is applied to your PST is decided by ICBC and the BC Ministry of Finance. We aren't affiliated with either, and we don't give tax or legal advice.
Payment and refunds
Payment is due when you submit your request. If you cancel before we start your appraisal, email us for a full refund. Once an appraisal has been completed and sent, the fee is non-refundable. If we can't complete your appraisal, for example because the photos aren't enough and we can't get better ones, we'll refund you in full.
Limitation of liability
Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the fee you paid.
