DEALERS CAN’T AFFORD OMVIC
Following our Dealer Alert on the 8th, and our social media posts, dealer response has been dramatic. Dealers say enough is enough. It’s time to say NO to OMVIC’s outrageous fee increases. Dealers simply can’t afford OMVIC.
With OMVIC salaries and Board benefits eating up almost of 90% of OMVIC revenue, who could?
With pressures on dealers from all sides – Trump’s Tariffs, FINTRAC, inflation and lack of inventory – OMVIC thinks now would be a good time to slap more fee increases on dealers.
TRANSACTION TAX INCREASES – From $12.50 in 2024, OMVIC now want $22 for every vehicle you sell to a consumer. This to come into effect on September 1, 2025, generating millions for OMVIC out of consumer and dealer pockets.
FEE INCREASES – Following huge fee increases in 2024, OMVIC now plan more fee increases effective September 1, 2025.
LATE FEE INCREASES – From $0, dealers now pay $300 and salespeople $150 as of Feb. 1, 2025.
MANDATORY EDUCATION COSTS COMING IN 2026 – We still don’t know what those costs will be because, despite asking, they have still not told us.
It’s high time for OMVIC to get their fiscal house in order. It might be time for the Ontario Government to consider some other way to fund OMVIC operations.
