To estimate your duty liability, please use the calculator below. Please note this calculator serves as a guide only.
The amount of duty payable depends on the type of vehicle you have and its dutiable value – the higher of the purchase price and the market value of the vehicle. Please note, this value includes the goods and services tax (GST) and the luxury car tax (LCT), if applicable.
To assist you in determining you motor vehicle performance rating the Australian Government’s Green Vehicle Guide sets out the combined CO2 emissions for different vehicles. Based on these emission levels, vehicles receive a vehicle performance Category AAA, AA, A, B, C, D or non‑rated. (Note some vehicle’s combined CO2 emissions may not be available from the Green Vehicle Guide and may be obtained from other sources based on vehicle manufacturer information.)
The calculator is currently unavailable for motorcycles. Motorcycles are subject to following duty charges:
New or used ZEV – nil
New (non-ZEV) – $1 for every $100, or part of $100 of dutiable value
Used (non-ZEV) – $3 for every $100, or part of $100 of dutiable value.
The calculations done by you on this site do not take into account things such as interest or penalty tax that may apply. ACT taxes are exempt from GST.
The ACT Revenue Office regularly updates the calculators on its website in accordance with legislative requirements. No liability or responsibility is accepted by the Commissioner for ACT Revenue or the Australian Capital Territory for any errors in calculations which may arise as a result of errors made by you, errors due to technical issues, and errors arising due to issues beyond the control of the ACT Revenue Office.
In all circumstances, the calculations performed by you on this site do not replace the “Notice of Assessment” for any tax liability issued to you by the Commissioner for ACT Revenue.
