Stamp Duty / Tax Details

Stamp duty on private vehicle sales in WA is $2.75 per $100 of dutiable value for vehicles up to $25,000 (e.g. a $25,000 car = $687.50). Graduated rates apply above $25,000. Duty is assessed on market value if the stated price is below market.

Inspection / Roadworthy Requirements

WA does not require a pre-sale roadworthy certificate for private vehicle transfers. The buyer may arrange a voluntary inspection at their own expense before purchase. Safety inspections are required when a vehicle is first registered in WA after coming from another state.

Western Australia Free Printable Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist

  1. Download the free PDF template and print two copies — one for the buyer and one for the seller.
  2. Complete both copies fully at the time of sale — do not leave any fields blank.
  3. Record the exact VIN or registration number, current odometer reading, agreed sale price, and today's date.
  4. Both buyer and seller sign both copies in each other's presence.
  5. Each party keeps one signed original.
  6. Seller lodges the Duty to Notify (DNT) with DoT WA within 5 business days — this extinguishes the seller's liability for traffic infringements after the sale date.
  7. Buyer pays WA stamp duty at $2.75 per $100 on the sale price (or market value if higher) before or at transfer.
  8. Buyer presents the transfer form, bill of sale, identity documents, and duty payment to DoT WA within 5 business 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  • Using an out-of-date form: requirements change periodically.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.
  • Stamp duty on undervalued transfers: DoT WA checks the stated price against the Redbook/market value guide. If your sale price looks artificially low, the duty will be recalculated on market value and a shortfall notice issued to the buyer.
  • Selling a vehicle with outstanding finance without disclosing it: a financier's security interest registered on the PPSR survives a sale. The buyer should run a PPSR check (ppsr.gov.au, ~$2 AUD) before purchase.

Pro Tip

The 5-business-day deadlines in WA are strictly enforced — don't wait until the weekend is over to file. Sellers should lodge the DNT the same day as settlement if possible, and buyers should attend a DoT WA centre or complete the online transfer before the fifth business day to avoid fines and duty penalties.

Western Australia Free Printable Bill of Sale — FAQs

Is a printed bill of sale legally valid in Western Australia?
Yes. A printed and signed bill of sale is fully legally valid in Western Australia and is accepted by DoT WA as proof of a private vehicle sale. The form does not need to be notarized or witnessed, though both parties signing in each other's presence is recommended.
What must a Western Australia vehicle bill of sale include?
A valid Western Australia bill of sale must include: full names and addresses of both buyer and seller; vehicle year, make, model, and VIN or registration number; current odometer reading; agreed sale price; date of sale; and original signatures of both parties.
Can I use a handwritten bill of sale instead of a printed template?
Yes, a handwritten bill of sale is legally valid as long as it includes all required information and both parties sign it. A printed template ensures no fields are missed.
Does WA require a roadworthy certificate for a private car sale?
No. Western Australia does not require a pre-sale roadworthy certificate for private vehicle sales. The buyer can request a voluntary inspection, but the seller is not legally required to provide one. Safety inspections are only mandatory when a vehicle is first registered in WA after being transferred from another state or territory.
