Gift a Vehicle to a Family Member in Saskatchewan (2026)
In Saskatchewan, gifting a vehicle to a family member involves a specific tax exemption form (or process), a bill of sale, and a registry visit. Here's everything you need, step by step.
Step 1 — Tax exemption & gift form
Write a Letter of Gift -- an unnumbered written letter stating the relationship (per SGI / Bulletin PST-78). There is no specific form number. The vehicle must be Saskatchewan tax-paid. Siblings qualify in Saskatchewan.
Step 2 — Complete a bill of sale (marked “Gift”)
Even for a $0 gift, both parties should complete a bill of sale. Write “Gift” or “$0” in the sale price field. The bill of sale should include the date, year/make/model, VIN, odometer reading, full names and addresses of both parties, and both signatures.

Step 3 — Who qualifies as family?
The list of qualifying family relationships is set by the official program rules for Saskatchewan and is subject to change. Always verify the current eligibility criteria before completing the transfer.
See the current eligibility rules at the official Saskatchewan source →Step 4 — Complete the transfer at SGI (Saskatchewan Government Insurance)
- Bring the completed gift form (or sworn statement) as required by Saskatchewan.
- Bring the signed bill of sale marked "Gift."
- Bring the signed vehicle ownership/registration documents.
- Both parties bring government-issued ID.
- Safety inspection: not required from the seller in Saskatchewan to complete the transfer (confirm current rules with SGI (Saskatchewan Government Insurance)).
- The seller removes their licence plates before handing over the vehicle — plates stay with the donor.
