Final Price = Vehicle Price + Sales Tax

These rates are based on Ontario's current vehicle sales tax regulations.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Purchasing a Car

If you're buying a car with a price of $25,000:

Sales Tax = $25,000 × 8% = $2,000

Final Price = $25,000 + $2,000 = $27,000

Example 2: Purchasing a Truck

If you're buying a truck with a price of $40,000:

Sales Tax = $40,000 × 13% = $5,200

Final Price = $40,000 + $5,200 = $45,200

Example 3: Purchasing an SUV

If you're buying an SUV with a price of $35,000:

Sales Tax = $35,000 × 13% = $4,550

Final Price = $35,000 + $4,550 = $39,550
