A few useful details
For your personal vehicle toward a new vehicle from a dealer. No tax collected by you. Business vehicles, used replacements and leases need a separate calculation. Accommodation: you find a buyer, and your new-vehicle dealer handles the sale as an eligible trade-in. Dealer approval is required. A separate private sale alone does not save tax on your next vehicle.
QC: base × 5% + base × 9.975%. ON: base × 13%. Reverse standard tax: total ÷ 1.14975 (QC) or total ÷ 1.13 (ON), subject to cent rounding. Tax saving = tax on full new-vehicle price − tax after eligible credit. Offer plus tax value = credit + tax saving.
