Dear Licensees,
The VSA is pleased to announce the launch of the newย Industry Transaction Levy webpage, now available for licensees.
This page brings together everything dealers need to prepare for the April 1, 2026 launch of the fixedย $10 Transaction Levy, including FAQs, key levy details, quarterly remittance information, consumerโfacing guidance, and VSA contact points for questions. The levy will apply to each consumer transaction involving a motor vehicle, as defined under theย Motor Dealer Act.
Helpful Resources Available
This webpage serves as your main hub for information leading up to implementation. Below are some of the key resources available to help you prepare for the Transaction Levy:
Access the Transaction Levy Info Sheet on the webpage and find answers to essential questions about how the levy works, when it applies, and how to communicate it to consumers.
Refer to the Remittance Guide for clear, stepโbyโstep instructions on how to remit the transaction levy at the end of each quarter.
The VSA will soon provide pointโofโsale materials to help dealers explain the levy to consumers. Additional versions will be available for download on the webpage closer to April 1, 2026.
