AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Proposals to grant an exemption from stamp duty on vehicles purchased by independent schools and the Catholic Education Office were raised in submissions to the state tax review. The state tax review interim report notes that a vehicle registration fees concession is available to a number of groups, including educational, charitable, religious and youth organisations, hospitals and consulates. When a 100 per cent concession is issued by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, a stamp duty exemption on the grant or transfer of the motor vehicle licence is available. DPI grants registration fee concessions based on established criteria. These criteria include certifying that the organisation is a registered charitable or public benevolent institution, and that the vehicle will be used specifically for providing aid to persons in need. (2) It has not been possible to cost the proposed exemption in the limited time available. (3) The government will consider its response to this issue following the receipt of the final report of the review.
