Free Queensland Free Printable Bill of Sale
The Queensland car sale receipt is the one you should be printing BEFORE you advertise, not after you shake hands — because Queensland is the state that wants the Safety Certificate obtained before the ad goes up. A template forces the sequence into the open: certificate first, buyer second, receipt third. It also forces the fields people skip at the kerbside, which in Queensland means the VIN and an exact odometer reading that TMR's duty assessment will sit alongside.

Queensland Free Printable Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Stamp Duty / Tax Details
Whatever figure is printed, duty is assessed at $3 per $100 to $100,000 (then $3.50) on the higher of that price and market value — $750 on a $25,000 car — so the printed price should be the true one.
Exemption: If the sale is within family (spouse, domestic partner, eligible relatives), note it on the form — it's the fact that opens a QRO concession claim.
Inspection / Roadworthy Requirements
Add the Safety Certificate's number and issue date to the printed form: Queensland requires the seller to provide the certificate on every private sale, and its 2-month/2,000 km window is worth documenting at signing.
Queensland Free Printable Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Get the Safety Certificate FIRST — Queensland expects it before you advertise, not just before handover.
- Print the receipt template and note the Safety Certificate number on it.
- Record both parties: names, addresses, licence numbers.
- Enter the VIN, the registration plate, and the exact odometer reading in kilometres.
- Write the price; the buyer's transfer duty is $3 per $100 of dutiable value, assessed on market value.
- Add the as-is declaration — a private Queensland sale carries no statutory warranty.
- Both sign and date; the seller lodges the notice of disposal with TMR.
Common Pitfalls
- Advertising before the Safety Certificate exists — the most common Queensland private-sale mistake, and no receipt fixes it.
- Leaving the Safety Certificate number off the receipt.
- Recording the plate instead of the VIN.
- An approximate odometer figure on a document that exists to be precise.
Pro Tip
Queensland's order is fixed: certificate, then buyer, then receipt. Print the template early, put the certificate number on it, and TMR will not send anyone home.
