TAS costs to budget for beyond the car loan
Stamp duty. Tasmania charges passenger vehicle duty at $3 per $100 up to $35,000, then $1,050 plus $11 per $100 of the excess through to $40,000, and 4% of the full value beyond that. On a $40,000 car that works out to $1,600 in duty.
Registration and CTP. Tasmanian registration is priced by cylinder count, with CTP through MAIB (the sole insurer) built into the bill: a four-cylinder car or an EV is $642.77 a year, six cylinders $686.77 and a V8 $766.77, current as at July 2026.
Worth knowing in TAS. The $35,000 to $40,000 transition band is the steepest marginal duty rate in the country at $11 per $100: duty jumps from $1,050 to $1,600 across that $5,000 of price. If you are shopping near $35,000, staying under the threshold saves real money.
