About Vehicle Stamp Duty in WA
In Western Australia, vehicle stamp duty (officially called vehicle licence duty) is payable when you buy, license, or transfer a vehicle. The amount depends on the dutiable value (whichever is higher between the purchase price and market value) and the type of vehicle. Caravans permanently fitted for human habitation are exempt from stamp duty. Different rates apply for passenger, non-passenger, and heavy vehicles.
