how much is stamp duty on a car in qld

Stamp duty on cars in Queensland is a charming little tax designed to make you feel the sting of ownership. For passenger vehicles, the rate is 1.5% on the first $100,000 of the vehicle's dutiable value, and 3% on any amount above $100,000. So if you buy a car worth $50,000, expect to cough up $750 in stamp duty. For vehicles over $100,000, do the math accordingly. Keep in mind this is on top of the purchase price, so factor it in when budgeting your shiny new ride. For precise calculations and any concessions, have a gander at the Queensland Government's official site or pop over to Tradingpost for some real-world pricing.
