How much should i PUT for stamp duty?


Recommended Posts

Stamp duty is 3% of the purchase price. So if your purchase price is $35k and thats what you tell the RTA then they will charge you 35000 x 0.03 = $1050.

If you can get a bill of sale or whatever with a lower purchase price you can lower your stamp duty. You might not be able to do that though.

When I bought my 32 I asked the guy if he was willing to put down a lower car value so i could get stamp duty cheaper and he said 'I will but if your car gets stolen, the insurance company looks into ur rego and suses out what duty u have paid on it' He had a car stolen previously. Also big fines apply if you dont pay the correct duty. In queensland its only 2%. Your choice.

Well here in vic i put the cheapest sometimes ridiculous value i can and if they dont agree they send you out a letter saying you have undervalued your car and want you to get it value tested by someone in there department.I have yet to reply to there request and have heard nothing more.I would just put 10k if you get caught there is no futher penalty expect paying the difference.

over here in WA it use to be a certain %, then i got my car and all of a sudden it had changed to a sliding scale. bastards.

R34GTT-R: i put 15k for my 32 gts-t, i got a letter from the government saying it was worth 32k and i had to pay the difference or show them how i came to 15k. the idiots in redbook dont have a listing for a T, so they just assumed it was an R. morons.

The story in NSW is that your import car is valued on how much it cost to land your car at the RTA.

ie. auction price + shipping + import duty + agents fees. Of course this is a tax on a tax but they don't see it that way.

With the way it is of imports, $30,000 is believable for a 1995 r33 GT-R.

For an r32 GT-R, I would say $17,500 or less is believable with the way 15 y.o. imports are going.

If you put too little, State Revenue will pull you up, make you pay their valuation and fine you.

if you are the first oz owner you could put down the price paid for the car at auction in japan, that way you've got documentary evidence to back up the claim too.

I did this, and got away with it :D

my car was 550,000 yen (which came to just under 10K at the time) so I showed the lady my receipt which showed this amount.

so I only paid 3% on 10K instead of the landed and complied cost which was just over 20K.

and yes, the law (in ACT anyway) is the price you paid, or market value whichever is the greater but they didn't see many imports here 2 1/2 years ago, so she didn't even think to question the amount I put.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
