How TAS calculates vehicle stamp duty
Tasmania charges a flat $20 up to $600, then $3 per $100 to $35,000, then $1,050 plus $11 per $100 to $40,000. Above $40,000, duty is 4% of the FULL value — not just the amount over $40,000.
At $80,000, you're in the luxury range — top duty tiers apply, and cars over $80,000 may also attract the separate federal Luxury Car Tax (which is not stamp duty).
TAS Motor Vehicle Duty rate tiers
| Value band | Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to $600 | $20 flat |
| $600 – $35,000 | $3 per $100 |
| $35,000 – $40,000 | $1,050 + $11 per $100 |
| Over $40,000 | 4% of full value |
Tasmania's $35,000–$40,000 band is built so the scale lands exactly on 4% of the full value at $40,000 — $1,600 either way — so there is no step to avoid at the threshold. The quirk is what happens after it: 4% of the entire value, with no cap, so the bill keeps climbing in step with the price.
