The paperwork in Ontario
Ontario requires the seller to buy a Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP) from ServiceOntario and give it to the buyer — it is not optional. The buyer needs a Safety Standards Certificate to plate the car, and pays retail sales tax at registration on the greater of the purchase price or the province's wholesale value.
A plain-language summary, not legal advice. Requirements and tax rates change — confirm the current rules with Ontario before you close.
