Running a dealership is already complex enough, but keeping up with ever-changing OEM and government regulations can make it feel like an uphill battle. You deal with everything from OEM-mandated updates to luxury taxes, evolving EV rebates, and unique provincial tax rules. Compliance is a moving target, but the good news is you don’t have to navigate these changes alone.
The Cost of Non-Compliance
Failing to adhere to regulations can lead to hefty fines, operational disruptions, and even damage to your dealership’s reputation. OEMs set stringent requirements that dealerships must follow to remain eligible for benefits, rebates, and exclusive programs. One miscalculation or missed update, and you could be looking at unnecessary headaches, or even losing access to key OEM incentives. On top of that, government regulations such as the changing tax structures and fluctuating EV incentives add further complexity. This requires dealerships to stay informed and compliant at all times.
