victoria car stamp duty

In Victoria, car stamp duty (motor vehicle duty) is charged when you buy or transfer a vehicle, and it’s based on the car’s dutiable value rather than your charm.

Passenger vehicles use tiered rates that increase with price, while commercial categories are usually calculated under a different schedule.

You’ll also pay separate registration, TAC and transfer fees—those are not stamp duty, just extra joy for your wallet.

Concessions exist for eligible buyers and uses (for example certain primary producer, disability, and charitable cases), and dealers or VicRoads will collect the duty at registration.

For your exact figure, use the State Revenue Office Victoria calculator or ask the dealer to put it in writing; surprises are for birthdays, not driveaways.
