Thread: Stamp duty payable when buying a vehicle that is currently club and will be club reg.

But did you fill out a transfer document so that the vehicles are actually registered in your name ?

I haven't with several of mine but find that there's a $39.70 transfer fee on a motor vehicle. Is this only if it's sold 'registered' ??

Good question - I have never filled out a transfer form. I have always bought the vehicle “as is”, asked for a receipt as proof of ownership, but never filled out a transfer document or paid SD.

That's where I wonder if VICRoads keep info on the vehicle (chassis/engine No) would the previous owner be listed as the current owner ??
I'll have to ask next time I pay a Club Permit, just worried I'll open a can of worms.....
