Western Australia Free Printable Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
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
- 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 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.
- Buyer pays WA stamp duty at $2.75 per $100 on the sale price (or market value if higher) before or at transfer.
- 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- Using an out-of-date form: requirements change periodically.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.
