Vehicle Transportation Taxes in Canada


Vehicle auto transport is a business that most of the times has customers all across the country. That situation may be confusing when it comes to the pricing of the service. Canada's taxing system has a different tax percentage in every province and territory. Customers may wonder, which tax will apply to my purchase when I ship my car?

Vehicle Transportation Taxes in Canada  

Auto transport is not a service that you purchase and receive in the same place, so it can cover one, two, or more provinces on every trip. When shipping your vehicle the taxing that applies is the delivery province taxing system. The reason for this is that the car shipping service is not complete until the vehicle is delivered.

    That's good to know that in Canada, there is a tax applied when shipping your car. Is that only if you're moving the car within the country or would that also apply to just a one way trip in or out of Canada? Not everyone can move their cars on their own, so it's nice that we have services that will move your car for you. http://www.tfxinternational.com/services/cars

Moving Tips - Changing homes isn't always easy

We recently moved offices and got us thinking about all our customers that have to relocate to a new home. While packing, we decided to put together some of the things we did to make our move as smooth as possible. We thought this would be helpful for people moving to a new city, or a new home. Before you start packing Clean before your start putting things in boxes. You don't want dust coming from the old place to the new one. This will also help you get rid of things you really don't need or want anymore. Once you have sorted the things you actually want to take, you can decide whether you can donate the things you don't need anymore. Separate your items in categories like: glassware, cleaning supplies, bedding, etc. This way when you pack, you can sort things in a more organized way. Label your boxes. By category, or by room, you  can even mark which side must go up. Before you disconnect your electronics, take a picture, this way you will know where all t...

One of ShipMyRide’s expertise is private relocation.

One of ShipMyRide’s expertise is private relocation. What does this mean?   When a customer is moving to another city or province, we help them move their vehicle to their new address. But, why do Canadians move? There are major reasons that make Canadians move, which include: ·          A new addition to the family ·          Job relocation ·          A decrease in family members ·          Retirement ·          An increase in cash flow, etc. To break it down by the numbers, most Canadians move because of: • Family size increase (marriage, kids etc.) – 42% • Job relocation – 37%,  but much higher in Alberta – 53% • Family size decrease (divorce, death, empty nest etc.) – 20% • Retirement – 18% • Came into more money – 14% • Home was...

Canada's Gasoline Prices - Understanding Changing Prices

There are several factors that affect the prices at the pumps in Canada. Some prices might change day to day or pump to pump, or even province to province. It’s hard to keep up, but below is some basic information that can be used to understand the fuel prices at gas stations. The price at the pump for a litre of gasoline is calculated by the price of crude oil, the cost of refining that crude, marketing and distribution costs, taxes and, of course, profits to the seller (considering the people/company who extract the oil all the way to the pump with the end product). Prices vary from province to province due to the cost of transportation and taxes provincial and municipal. The amount of fuel a station can sell may also affect end price. Potentially, a station that sells more fuel and other products, may be able to offer their products at a lower price than a station that sells less fuel. A strategy that some gas station retail sites use is to offer food, car washes, pers...
