# Vehicle Registration Renewal — Canada

Source page: https://valem.run/calculators/canada/car-tax

Canada's annual vehicle registration renewal is a flat provincial fee, which Ontario eliminated in the south.

**Tax year:** 2026

## How it is calculated

Canada has no CO2 car tax; the annual cost is a provincial registration renewal fee. Southern Ontario eliminated it, Quebec charges 400+ CAD via the SAAQ, BC bundles it with ICBC insurance, and Alberta charges around 93 CAD.

Pick your province from the dropdown for the annual figure, or enter a fee directly — British Columbia bundles it into the ICBC insurance premium, so there is no separate figure to quote there. Estimate, not advice.

## Worked example

With Province of ON, this model computes Annual renewal of 0 CAD.
