A new car stamp duty is $5 / $200 valued amount. Of course the cheaper you say the car is the less the duty but these days the Vicroads guys will challenge a stupid value claim without some proof. At rego. I said my car was worth $29,200 and had a spreadsheet to prove?? this. Probably only a few thousand shy but better in my pocket than the Governments!!

Transfer of a second hand car though is $7 or $8 / $200 value and that all adds up. Then there was the rego, TAC fee and stamp duty and in my case the plates transfer off another car, so reissue fee, blah, blah, blah and $1400 odd dollars thank you very much.

But at the end of the day, you want the car registered and you can drive it away so woo hoo all is good!!

I gather transfer from Qld or Tassie necessitates a vehicle inspection but it's all just process in the end.

Cheers
