When selling a boat in BC

[sir-vivor]

I'm going to be privately selling my boat and boat trailer was wondering if anyone can give me with some info on the tax issures and what you did or wish you would have done.
If you wish you can PM me.
You help is greatly appreciated as I know nothing about the subject and greatly appreciate any and all comments.
Thanks
Clint

As a seller, you have no tax obligations, that is on the buyer. It was easy as that when I sold my last boat, which was fully registered in my name and I had paid the taxes owing when I had purchased / registered initially.

I would ensure you keep a copy of the Bill of Sale in case at some point the boat is involved in some sort of event causing liability, or simply just abandoned. Seems a lot of people dodge the taxes by not completing the transfer paperwork. If I’m the last owner on record I would want to have proof I sold it, when and to who!
