South Australia Free Printable Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Stamp Duty / Tax Details
Stamp duty on private vehicle sales in SA is $4 per $100 of market value. On a $25,000 car the duty is $1,000. Revenue SA assesses duty on the higher of the stated sale price or the market value (Redbook guide price).
Inspection / Roadworthy Requirements
SA does not require a roadworthy certificate for private car sales. No government inspection is mandated before the sale; the buyer may arrange a voluntary pre-purchase inspection at their own cost.
Registration
Registration for this vehicle type is handled by Service SA — separate from the transfer agency.
South Australia Free Printable Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Download the free PDF template and print two copies — one for the buyer and one for the seller.
- Complete both copies fully at the time of sale — do not leave any fields blank.
- Record the exact VIN or registration number, current odometer reading, agreed sale price, and today's date.
- Both buyer and seller sign both copies in each other's presence.
- Each party keeps one signed original.
- Buyer completes the vehicle transfer at a Service SA centre within 14 days and pays stamp duty at $4 per $100 of the vehicle's market value.
- Buyer provides current SA licence and proof of CTP (compulsory third-party) insurance to complete registration in their name.
- Run a PPSR check (ppsr.gov.au) before purchase to confirm no outstanding finance on the vehicle.
Common Pitfalls
- Printing only one copy: both parties need an original signed document — print two and sign both at the time of sale.
- Leaving the sale price blank — a blank price creates ambiguity and can be disputed later.
- Using an out-of-date form: requirements change periodically. Always download a fresh template rather than using a saved copy from years ago.
- Not disclosing outstanding finance: a PPSR encumbrance on the vehicle survives the sale. The buyer can seek damages from the seller if the vehicle is later repossessed by a financier.
- Relying on a verbal sale confirmation: without a signed and dated bill of sale specifying the exact sale time, disputes about the 1-business-day notification deadline are difficult to resolve.
Pro Tip
With SA's 1-business-day notification window, sellers should complete the online Notification of Change of Ownership at sa.gov.au before the keys even leave their hands. The higher $4/$100 stamp duty rate means both parties should have the exact sale figure agreed and documented before attending Service SA.
