VD-80.1-V, Quebec's related-individuals declaration: what it is and how it works

This page is the free guide. No sign-in. Read on.

Transferring a vehicle to family in Quebec? This is the form that spares the recipient the QST, completed at the SAAQ counter, not mailed anywhere.

  1. 1

    What it is, and who it covers

    Open this section ↓

    The VD-80.1-V (Declaration of a Transaction Between Related Individuals) is Revenu Québec's declaration for vehicle transfers between related individuals: when it applies, QST is waived. Qualifying relationships include immediate family, and also aunt/uncle to niece/nephew, which catches people out because several other provinces draw the family line tighter.

    Common mistakes

    Assuming any family relationship qualifies.Open this section ↓
    • ✗Assuming any family relationship qualifies. Check Revenu Québec’s current list; “related individual” has a specific definition
    • ✗Skipping the bill of sale because “it’s just a gift”. The declaration handles the tax, not the transaction record
    • ✗Trying to handle it by mail or online alone. The transfer is processed at the SAAQ outlet
    • ✗Confusing the QST waiver with skipping the transfer itself. The SAAQ transfer still has to happen, together

    What is form VD-80.1-V?

    The Declaration of a Transaction Between Related Individuals: Revenu Québec’s form for vehicle transfers between related individuals. When it applies, QST is waived on the transfer. It’s completed at a SAAQ service outlet as part of the transfer.

    Who counts as a “related individual” in Quebec?

    Qualifying relationships include immediate family, and, notably, aunt/uncle to niece/nephew, which is broader than several other provinces’ gift exemptions. Check Revenu Québec’s current form guidance for the full list before relying on a specific relationship.

    Where do I fill out the VD-80.1-V?

    At a SAAQ service outlet, when the transfer is processed. Both the transfer and the declaration happen through the SAAQ, which is also why Quebec vehicle sales generally end with both parties at the SAAQ counter.

    Do I still need a bill of sale for a family transfer in Quebec?

    Yes, even a $0 family gift should have a signed bill of sale marked “Gift.” It protects both parties and documents the transaction; the VD-80.1-V handles only the tax side. Our Quebec gift guide covers the full process.
