1. What is NSW Motor Vehicle Duty?

Motor Vehicle Duty is a tax payable when you register a motor vehicle in New South Wales. The duty is calculated based on the vehicle's market value or purchase price, whichever is higher.

First $45,000 at 3% = $1,350
Remaining $5,000 at 5% = $250
Total Duty = $1,350 + $250 = $1,600
