Petition into Motor Vehicle Stamp Duty Increases

Public Administration and Finance Committee (2001 - 2005)· 12 November 2004petition_response

A WA parliamentary committee investigated the impact of increased motor vehicle stamp duty. While WA has higher stamp duty rates for vehicles over $25,000 compared to other states, overall new vehicle sales continued to increase. The committee couldn't definitively link the increased duty to adverse economic impacts.
