Canada’s Federal Luxury Tax: Why Our Vehicles Are Exempt!

Does the new Canadian Federal Luxury Items Tax apply to the vehicles we sell?

The short answer is NO! 🇨🇦

We’ve been getting this question a LOT so here’s a quick breakdown!

Canada recently introduced a federal 10% luxury tax on goods such as new vehicles, aircraft, and boats manufactured after 2018 and exceeding certain price thresholds.

In our case, the luxury tax ONLY applies to vehicles over $100,000 that have never been registered in Canada ie. brand new vehicles from the manufacturer.
If the vehicle is being imported from another country the luxury tax only applies if vehicle is over $100,000 and newer than 2018.

That means that in the MAJORITY of cases, the luxury tax would not apply to any of the vehicles we sell!
Please note that if the vehicle is being registered in British Columbia, it is still subject to the provincial luxury tax brackets.

Porsche Track Day 2026 at Area 27

A Porsche Takeover at Area 27!

Every year, our annual Porsche Day is one of the most anticipated dates on the August Motorcars track calendar. This year, it was also our season finale, and it was our biggest Porsche Day yet.

The paddock at Area 27 was end-to-end Porsche from end to end. It was the perfect way to close out a season of driving with the community that makes these days what they are.

Back At The Track: September 10, 2026

After a mid-summer break, August Motorcars returned to Area 27 on September 10 for our second-to-last track day of the season – and it did not disappoint!
The turnout was fantastic, the weather couldn’t have cooperated more, and the energy in the paddock made it clear how much everyone had missed being back on the circuit. From the first session of the morning to the final laps of the day, drivers pushed their cars and themselves, and the August Motorcars team was out there every step of the way, soaking in a day that reminded us exactly why we do this.
