Last updated 17 May 2023

Luxury car tax rate

Cars with a luxury car tax (LCT) value over the LCT threshold attract an LCT rate of 33%.

For the LCT rate before 3 October 2008, refer to A New Tax System (Luxury Car Tax Imposition - General) Act 1999.

Luxury car tax thresholds

The following table lists the LCT thresholds for the financial year the car was imported, acquired or sold.

If you import or sell a car with a GST-inclusive value above these LCT thresholds, you must pay LCT except in certain circumstances. In general, the LCT value of a car includes the value of any parts, accessories or attachments you supplied, or imported, at the same time as the car.
