Yes, you can transfer a vehicle to your ex-spouse without paying PST if:

• The transfer is due to a termination of a legal marriage or common-law relationship (where the individuals have been living with each other in a marriage-like relationship for two years or more)

• The transfer is from one partner to the other, or from joint ownership to single ownership

• The dissolution of the relationship is supported by a formal separation agreement or court order.

You will need to provide documentation such as a written separation agreement, marriage agreement, agreement dividing property under the Family Law Act, or a court order. Please talk to your Autoplan broker for more details.​

If a court orders a transfer of vehicle ownership and one or more owners have not signed the Transfer/Tax form, ICBC requires that the court order must include:

• A specific direction or authorization for ICBC to transfer vehicle ownership without the signature(s) of certain owner(s); and

• The vehicle description (make, model and Vehicle Identification Number)

The vehicle recipient(s) named in the court order must attend an Autoplan broker’s office to process the transfer of ownership into their name.

If you have questions about a court-ordered transfer of vehicle ownership, talk to your Autoplan broker.
