How to Fill Out a Bill of Sale in Tasmania

A step-by-step guide to every field on a Tasmania vehicle bill of sale — with a free filled-in example you can download instantly.

Filling out a Tasmanian bill of sale means writing honestly about older metal: the island runs Australia's oldest average fleet, so the odometer line deserves a credibility note ("reading believed genuine" or "true mileage unknown") and the condition section deserves specifics rather than "fair for age." Duty is $3 per $100 of the higher of price and market value, the buyer completes the Service Tasmania transfer within 14 days, and the seller lodges the Change of Ownership Notification. One island-specific line worth adding: the registration state, since mainland-plated vehicles circulate via the Spirit of Tasmania and follow their home state's rules until re-registered.

Step-by-Step: Every Field Explained

1

Seller Information

  • Full legal name (exactly as on the vehicle registration papers)
  • Current residential address
  • Suburb, state, postcode
  • Phone number (optional but recommended)
Tip: This line gets compared to the title at Service Tasmania — same spelling, same order, same initials.
2

Buyer Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current residential address
  • Suburb, state, postcode
  • Phone number (optional)
  • Driver's licence number (recommended for identity verification)
Tip: Buyers, think one step ahead: the name entered here is the name the new ownership record will wear. Joint purchase? Every buyer's name goes on.
3

Vehicle Description

  • Vehicle year (4-digit)
  • Make (manufacturer — e.g., Toyota, Ford, Holden)
  • Model (e.g., HiLux, Ranger, Commodore)
  • Body type (e.g., sedan, ute, SUV, wagon)
  • Colour
  • VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) — 17 characters, found on the compliance plate or door jamb
  • Engine number (if known — on the engine block)
  • Odometer reading at time of sale (km)
  • Registration plate number and expiry
Tip: The 17 characters must match the title exactly; copy them from the vehicle itself (dash or door jamb) rather than from a listing. Then run the ~$2 PPSR check before money moves.
4

Sale Price & Stamp Duty Note

  • Sale price in Australian dollars (write both numerals and words — e.g., "$18,500 — Eighteen thousand five hundred dollars")
  • Payment method (cash, bank cheque, bank transfer)
  • Date of sale (day / month / year)
  • Note: Stamp duty in Tasmania is $3 per $100 — paid by the buyer at Service Tasmania
  • Transfer fee: approximately $37.48
Tip: Declare the price as paid: the stamp duty calculation starts here and ends at book value if the figure looks invented.
5

Seller Signature & Registration Transfer

  • Seller's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
  • Sign the transfer of registration section on the back of the registration certificate
Tip: Tasmania skips the roadworthy requirement entirely, which moves condition diligence to the buyer — sellers still disclose what they know and sign promptly.
6

Buyer Signature & Next Steps

  • Buyer's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Execute two originals — each party walks away holding a fully signed copy, not a photo of one. Service Tasmania completes the transfer next — signed rego, photo ID, insurance in hand.

Tasmania-Specific Requirements

Tasmania does not require a roadworthy for private sales. Transfer is handled through Service Tasmania.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should older Tasmanian vehicles handle the odometer line?
With a credibility statement: "believed genuine" or "true mileage unknown (five-digit odometer)." On the island's long-lived fleet, honest mileage framing prevents the most common dispute.
What if the vehicle carries mainland plates?
Note the registration state on the bill of sale — a Victorian-plated car sold in Hobart follows Victoria's transfer rules (including the 1-day NoD) until re-registered in Tasmania.
What are Tasmania's transfer mechanics?
Buyer transfers through Service Tasmania within 14 days paying $3 per $100 duty on the higher of price and market value; seller lodges the Change of Ownership Notification promptly.
