NOTE: The mathematical rounding performed by your PC or version of your browser may cause a small variance in the final figure.
Stamp duty is calculated on the dutiable value of the vehicle, at a rate of $3.00 per $100.00 or part thereof.
| - | In the case of an "arm's length" transaction (see below), the dutiable value is the sale price of the vehicle including accessories. | ||
| - | If the purchaser has negotiated a discount such as a trade or fleet discount or the vehicle is not subject to GST, the dutiable value is the negotiated price. | ||
| In any other case, the dutiable value is whichever is the greater: | |||
| - | the vehicle's market value including accessories at the date of the transaction; or | ||
| - | the vehicle's market value including accessories at the date of transfer. |
An arm's length transaction as a general rule is made in good faith between parties with independent interests (eg. between a dealer and a member of the public). Typically, the parties are not related and do not have any business connections.
