Car stamp duty in Australia isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s set by each state or territory and usually scales with the purchase price (and sometimes vehicle type or efficiency).
The gist: work out the dutiable value (usually the vehicle price including options and dealer delivery, excluding rego and CTP), find your state’s rate bands, then multiply—yes, maths, but the friendly kind.
As a rough illustration only, a $30,000 car at a 4% rate would be $1,200 in duty; change the rate or price and the number follows suit.
Use your state revenue office’s calculator for the exact figure and any exemptions or EV concessions, then add on-road costs like rego, CTP, dealer delivery and plates.
Short version: check the official calculator, because the rules move more than a P-plater’s clutch foot.
