how much stamp duty wa car

In WA it’s called Vehicle Licence Duty, and it’s basically stamp duty on the car’s dutiable value (the price you pay, typically including GST, not the rego or fees).

The rate is a sliding scale: up to $25,000 it’s 2.75%; from $25,001–$50,000 it increases progressively; over $50,000 it’s a flat 6.5%.

So a $20,000 runabout cops about $550 in duty, while a $60,000 family wagon will be around $3,900—more than enough for a very nice esky and a few sausages.

For an exact figure on your car, use the WA calculator and brace for the gentle thud of reality at the counter.
