The paperwork in Quebec
Quebec transfers happen at the SAAQ, and both the seller and buyer generally need to be present. Quebec sales tax is calculated on the higher of the agreed price or the vehicle's estimated value, so an unusually low sale price does not reduce the buyer's tax bill.
A plain-language summary, not legal advice. Requirements and tax rates change — confirm the current rules with Quebec before you close.
