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.
Impact
Potentially affects WA motorists, particularly those purchasing vehicles over $25,000. Also impacts the motor vehicle industry in WA.
