Overview of the luxury car tax gap

What makes up the luxury car tax gap population.

Published 3 November 2025

The luxury car tax (LCT) gap population is made up of:

  • entities that lodge business activity statements, who have indicated LCT obligations
  • entities that report (ad hoc without any registration obligation) only for a credit
  • private luxury car importers identified by the Department of Home Affairs (Customs).

The LCT gap forms a part of our overall tax performance program. For more information, see Australian tax gaps and the latest gaps available.
