Paying duty on GST-inclusive amounts

Duty must be calculated on the GST-inclusive amount when GST is a component of a particular transaction.

GST may be a component of transactions that are liable for the following duties:

  • transfer duty
  • insurance duty
  • motor vehicle duty.

Most other taxes that we administer will not include GST.

Specific rulings outline the effect of GST on calculating duty in a number of areas. See the following Public Rulings for more information:

See the Australian Tax Office website and GST-related information for more information about GST.
