Victoria ATV Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Stamp Duty / Tax Details
Stamp duty on motorcycles in Victoria is calculated at $8.40 per $200 of market value (same rate as cars for values up to $68,740). Most private motorcycle sales fall well under the $68,740 threshold. A $10,000 motorcycle: ceil(10,000/200) × $8.40 = 50 × $8.40 = $420.
Inspection / Roadworthy Requirements
A Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) is required for the buyer to transfer motorcycle registration in Victoria. The RWC is valid for 30 days. Licensed Vehicle Testers who are authorised for motorcycles must conduct the inspection.
Victoria ATV Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Full legal names and addresses of buyer and seller
- ATV make, model, year, engine displacement (cc), and VIN or frame serial number
- Odometer or hour-meter reading if applicable
- Sale price and payment method
- Both parties sign and retain a copy
- Buyer registers with state road authority if used on public roads or Crown land
Common Pitfalls
- Farm ATVs used on public roads must be registered — confirm intended use before skipping registration.
- Missing the VIN/serial number — quad bikes have frame serial numbers that may not follow the standard 17-character VIN format.
- Not running a PPSR check — finance on ATVs is common for farm equipment.
Pro Tip
Victoria's 1-business-day NoD rule applies to motorcycles exactly as it does to cars. Book the Roadworthy Certificate before listing, confirm the tester is motorcycle-authorised, and lodge the NoD the same day you hand over the bike. The stamp duty calculation at $8.40 per $200 makes the cost easy to estimate before the sale.
