icbc question
 

Hey all,

I am looking for an answer to a question my friend had asked me earlier, and I am hoping someone here can help her out. When she first bought her used vehicle, she had it gifted from the seller to avoid paying tax on the purchase. However, she was involved in an accident recently and ICBC had declared it as a write-off. During the accident reporting process, she mentioned to the ICBC agent the actual price she spent on the vehicle during the sale.

I told her Icbc may not cover the cost of her car because this may be considered fraud. What do you guys think?

Whatever bad happens, it's called karma.

Just let her find out the hard way

I told myself I was going to be nicer on RevScene and I was gonna start that trend with your thread but WTF are you talking about??

Shouldn't matter. I've had various cars either gifted to me or purchased at below market value and have never had a problem with ICBC paying me out. In fact, I got above market value for one car after it was destroyed.

But if you crashed or whatever, doesnt ICBC have the option to just give you the amount you paid for the vehicle instead of just fixing it?

So....you are here to solicit ideas on how to fraud icbc AGAIN?

gtfo.

Not really, all he is asking is that his friend started the fraud, and he is simply asking us if ICBC will fuck her or not.

pretty sure you just get market value for your car... Could be wrong though

I'm not sure what the fine print allows ICBC to do in that situation, though I'm sure there's a clause that allows that.

That said, it seems a little silly if that's the case. I could pick up a car for dirt cheap, say $600, because it wasn't running. I'd then dump a bunch of money into making it road worthy and it would suddenly be worth $10,000 on the open market. If I crashed it, would ICBC be required to pay me out the $600 for the original purchase or $10,000 for the fair market value?

That was the situation I found myself in with my example above. I bought a car with a blown engine and transmission. I had a spare set laying in the garage so I swapped it in, fixed up the interior, and increased the value by thousands of dollars. A faulty charging system caused an engine fire and since ICBC found I wasn't at fault for it, they paid me out with a cheque that went above the typical market value. /shrug

Thanks Lomac, good shit to know!

tax isn't ICBC's concern... it's CRA and they put the hammer down if they find out.

Doesn't matter what you paid for a car. All that matters is what it was worth prior to the accident.

Thanks for the reply, good to know.

If it is private sale or gift exemption it's really up to consumer taxation branch (CTB), if they audit the tax situation.

I suppose it could be one expensive lesson.

I am sorry it was hard to understand, will fix it now that I am on a computer.

That was not my intention. I was here to ask what ICBC would do in this scenario. This information might be beneficial to others who find themselves in this situation in the future.


Exactly.

Good to know, thanks.

depends if shes 7/10 or not.

xilley'd

I'll fuk her if icbc doesnt

Lol, don't know if I can tell you that here. Too many friends on Revscene that will make things awkward haha.

Pics

Nevermind chuki's friend, I want to see pic of this chick Saucywoman is talking about in the other thread.

ICBC can't refuse coverage for reasons of tax fraud.

However, ICBC can send this information to CRA or whoever deals with the tax form to have her investigated.

Either way, your friend's problem is two separate issues.
