how much is car stamp duty in victoria

Ah, stamp duty in Victoria—because buying a car isn't expensive enough already. The stamp duty is calculated based on the vehicle's dutiable value.

• For passenger vehicles under $68,740: 5% of the value
• For passenger vehicles over $68,740: 5% on the first $68,740 plus 6% on the remainder

For example, if you buy a car valued at $50,000, expect to cough up around $2,500. This is on top of the actual car price, which can be checked on CarShowroom or Tradingpost if you want to cry a little more.

Remember, these rates apply whether the car is new or used, so factor that into your budget. For all the nitty-gritty details, consult the official Victorian State Revenue Office.
