This morning I transferred ownership of my new car to me. It isn’t a new car, but is only six months old and has done a mere 7,000 kilometres. The transfer fee was a bit of a shock...$812.70.
The state government is double dipping on the Stamp Tax. On the purchase price of the car there is a Federal Tax (Goods and Services Tax), but when the state Stamp Tax is calculated, the GST is added to the price of the car and so everyone transferring a vehicle pays Stamp Tax on the GST. How do they get away with that?
When I bought the car, the dealer gave me a fuel discount card....4c off every litre. Trouble is that it is only redeemable at BP service stations. In this state BP is the sole fuel refinery and it sells fuel to a number of different brand name servos who all sell fuel at far less than BP service stations. Useless!
