VIC costs to budget for beyond the car loan
Stamp duty. Victoria charges duty on passenger cars at $8.40 per $200 of value (4.2%) up to $80,809, stepping up to 5.2%, 7% and 9% in higher value bands. Green passenger cars, including EVs and many hybrids under 120g CO2/km, stay at the $8.40 rate at every value. On a $40,000 car that works out to $1,680 in duty, the highest of any mainland state at that price.
Registration and CTP. Victoria bundles its CTP equivalent, the TAC charge, into the rego bill: for passenger cars the 2026-27 TAC charge is $429 to $551 a year depending on your postcode risk zone, plus insurance duty, on top of the registration fee itself (around $353 in metro areas).
Worth knowing in VIC. Victorian duty bands are not marginal: once the value crosses a threshold the higher rate applies to the entire price, so an $81,000 car pays 5.2% on all of it. Dutiable value also includes GST and accessories.
