Victoria Free Printable Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Stamp Duty / Tax Details
Victoria charges stamp duty calculated as $8.40 per $200 of the vehicle's market value (or the next $200 part) for vehicles up to $68,740 in value. For a $25,000 car: ceil($25,000 / $200) × $8.40 = 125 × $8.40 = $1,050. Higher rates apply above $68,740. Duty is assessed on the market value, not just the stated sale price.
Exemption: Transfers between spouses, domestic partners, and certain family members may qualify for a stamp duty concession in Victoria. Confirm with the State Revenue Office Victoria (sro.vic.gov.au).
Inspection / Roadworthy Requirements
A Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) is required for the buyer to transfer registration in Victoria. The RWC confirms the vehicle meets minimum Victorian road safety standards. It is valid for 30 days from the date of issue. The seller is not legally obligated to provide the RWC, but buyers should insist on it before purchase — without it, the buyer cannot register the car. An "unregistered vehicle permit" allows the buyer to transport an unroadworthy vehicle but not to drive it generally.
Victoria 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.
- Seller completes the Transfer of Registration process via VicRoads online (vicroads.vic.gov.au) and lodges the Notice of Disposal within 1 business day of the sale.
- Seller provides the buyer with the signed Transfer of Registration form, the RWC, and any available service records.
- Buyer completes the registration transfer at a VicRoads customer service centre or online within 14 days.
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- Using an out-of-date form: requirements change periodically.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.
- Selling without an RWC and expecting the buyer to arrange it: while buyers can purchase a vehicle without an RWC and obtain an unregistered vehicle permit, the vast majority of private car sales in Victoria involve an RWC provided by the seller — buyers who skip this step take on significant mechanical risk.
- Stamp duty calculated on market value, not sale price: if the stated sale price is below the market value assessed by VicRoads (based on the Glass's Guide), stamp duty is charged on the market value. Underreporting the price does not reduce the duty.
Pro Tip
Victorian car sales have the strictest seller deadline in Australia: the Notice of Disposal must be lodged within 1 business day. Arrange the Roadworthy Certificate before listing to avoid last-minute complications, and confirm the stamp duty calculation on vicroads.vic.gov.au before the transfer appointment. Sellers who miss the NoD deadline face real legal risk — make it the first thing you do after handing over the keys.
