Duty/Tax Exemption on Importing Cars for PR Clarification?

[saddlepatch]

Sorry for all the car questions.

I read that if you're including the car in the PR landing, that the car is excempt from taxes etc needing to be paid. However, I'm reading if you're a returning resident that you need to pay tax.

The PR that's landing is a first time resident, but the car is in both our names, so would they (The Border) try to get money out of us this way or will they consider the car as apart of the PR's landing and exempt us? (I'm crossing with them as we both live in the US presently)

Hopefully that makes sense?

If you have been absent from Canada for one year or more, your personal vehicle can be imported tax and duty free. You can also transfer the vehicle title to the PR prior to landing.

Thank you, I might just transfer the title when we pick it up then once the car is paid off. Thank you!
