About the Victoria Car Stamp Duty Calculator
Victoria charges motor vehicle duty when a car is first registered or transferred to a new owner. Unlike New South Wales, Victoria applies a single rate to the whole value of the car, and that rate jumps once the value passes the luxury car tax threshold — $80,809 for 2026–27. This calculator applies the State Revenue Office rates for passenger cars, including the lower rate for green cars.

- Enter the car’s market value or price, whichever is higher, including GST and dealer delivery for a new car.

- Over $150,000: $18.00 per $200 (9%).
- Green passenger cars and primary producer vehicles: $8.40 per $200 at any value.
Victorian car stamp duty at common prices (2026–27)
Passenger cars, new or used. The rate for the band is applied to the whole value, rounded up to the next $200.
| Market value | Passenger car | Green car (120 g/km CO₂ or less) |
|---|---|---|
| $20,000 | $840 | $840 |
| $30,000 | $1,260 | $1,260 |
| $40,000 | $1,680 | $1,680 |
| $50,000 | $2,100 | $2,100 |
| $60,000 | $2,520 | $2,520 |
| $80,000 | $3,360 | $3,360 |
| $90,000 | $4,680 | $3,780 |
| $100,000 | $5,200 | $4,200 |
| $120,000 | $8,400 | $5,040 |
| $150,000 | $10,500 | $6,300 |
| $200,000 | $18,000 | $8,400 |
Why one extra dollar can cost hundreds
Because the band rate applies to the whole value, crossing a threshold increases the duty on every dollar, not just the extra ones. A car valued at $80,809 pays $3,402, while one valued at $81,000 pays $4,212 — over $800 more for a $191 difference.
What counts as a green car?
A green passenger car has combined tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions of 120 grams per kilometre or less. Many hybrids and all fully electric cars qualify, but check the vehicle’s official emissions figure before relying on the lower rate.
Examples
$30,000 car
150 blocks × $8.40 = $1,260.
$90,000 car
450 blocks × $10.40 = $4,680.
$120,000 car
600 blocks × $14.00 = $8,400 — or $5,040 if it is a green car.
