Western Australia ATV Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Stamp Duty / Tax Details
Stamp duty on private motorcycle sales is $2.75 per $100 of dutiable value (same rate as cars) for values up to $25,000. Duty is assessed on market value if the stated price is below prevailing Redbook guide values.
Inspection / Roadworthy Requirements
No pre-sale roadworthy certificate is required for private motorcycle sales in WA. Buyers are advised to arrange an independent mechanical inspection before purchase.
Western Australia 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
Lodge the Duty to Notify on the same day you hand over the keys. Motorcycles ridden by new owners generate fines quickly, and WA's infringement system routes them to the registered operator of record until the DNT clears the seller's name.
