stamp duty cars victoria

Ah, stamp duty in Victoria—because buying a car isn't expensive enough already. When you purchase a vehicle in Victoria, you’re slapped with a stamp duty that’s calculated based on the dinky price of your ride.

Rates:

• 1.4% for cars valued up to $68,740
• 2.5% for the portion above $68,740

So, if you’re eyeing a flashy new set of wheels worth $50,000, expect to cough up around $700 in stamp duty. For pricier motors, the cost ramps up accordingly. Don’t forget—this is on top of your car’s price tag, registration, and insurance.
