How NSW calculates vehicle stamp duty

New South Wales charges Motor Vehicle Duty at $3 per $100 of value (or part) on passenger vehicles up to $44,999. From $45,000, duty is $1,350 plus $5 per $100 on the value above $45,000. Motorcycles and other non-passenger vehicles are a flat $3 per $100.

At $100,000, 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).

NSW Motor Vehicle Duty rate tiers

Value band Rate
Passenger up to $44,999 $3 per $100
Passenger $45,000 and over $1,350 + $5 per $100 over $45,000
Motorcycles & other vehicles $3 per $100 (flat)

Duty steps up above $45,000 — the marginal rate jumps from $3 to $5 per $100, so duty climbs faster on more expensive cars.
