I believe the other states may be copying Victoria now...

Time for the Labor government in Vic to go, but who do you replace them with..They are all terrible but at least NSW has stamp duty wavers, in Vic we get basically nothing. 100$ off registration fee (which is 800$+ dollars) woopie doo.
 
  • Informative
Reactions: adee
Does anyone know if this applies to 2nd hand as well? I'm assuming it does, but can't find any info to confirm.
Yes.
Which means existing owners don't cop an additional loss.
 
So technically a Victorian with a NSW Garage Address might be better off Registering the Car there now..
Vehicles registered in NSW require annual inspections every year once they are more than 5 years old. It doesn’t cost much, but would potentially present logistical challenges to find a NSW Authorised Inspection Centre in VIC.

Apparently other states do not have such a requirement.

Sounds like I'd need to schedule an Albury Trip once a year.... ;-)

I imagine this is how they will record the odometer reading to calculate the Road user tax. Makes sense as this info is already sent to transport NSW.
 
$ limits are important
Stamp duty will be removed from EVs that cost less than $78,000 by September this year, and a $3000 rebate given to the first 25,000 vehicles sold in NSW for under $68,000.

So really only applicable to SR+ in NSW. The delivery fee take the LR over the top.
For now... but if you read on...

Once the distance-based tax is implemented, stamp duty will be abolished on all electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.

There's one in Shepparton, if that helps.

 
How is the 30% of all new vehicle car sales calculated? If for example there is a week where Tesla ships in 2,500 cars into the state, that may make it over 30% of all new car sales. Would it be based on the previous financial year? No answer anywhere...

They're the state government. It goes without saying they'll go off new car registration data. They haven't said what time period it counts against, but the idea that it'll be 30% before 2027 is kinda inherently absurd, so it doesn't matter.
