stamp duty calculator qld cars

Ah, the dreaded stamp duty — the government's way of reminding you that buying a car isn't just about the thrill of the drive but also the thrill of handing over cold, hard cash. In Queensland, stamp duty on cars is calculated based on the dutiable value (usually the purchase price or market value) of the vehicle.

• For vehicles up to $100,000: $3 per $100 of value.
• Over $100,000: $3,000 plus $4.50 per $100 over $100,000.

So, if you're eyeing a $30,000 car, expect to cough up around $900 in stamp duty. For those splurging on a $150,000 beast, the duty climbs to $3,000 + $2,250 = $5,250. Charming, isn’t it?
