How much duty do you pay?

You have to pay duty on the full value of a new vehicle, or the sale price or market value of a used vehicle (whichever amount is the greater).

If Goods and Services Tax (GST) is payable, then duty is calculated on the GST inclusive full value on new vehicles, or sale price or market value of a used vehicle.

For most motor vehicles, the duty currently payable is $3 for every $100 (or part of $100) of its value. However the duty on vehicles valued at $45 000 or more (not including motor cycles, buses for more than 9 people including the driver, hearses and invalid conveyances) is $1350 plus $5 for every $100 (or part of $100) over $45 000.
