Is the vehicle financially encumbered?

When a bank, finance company or individual takes out an interest in a vehicle (that is, provides a loan to the owner), they register their interest in the vehicle. If a registered vehicle is still current, the vehicle could legally be repossessed. If you have not already checked that this vehicle is unencumbered you can find information on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) at www.ppsr.gov.au prior to purchasing the vehicle.

Vehicle Registration Duty

Vehicle registration duty is collected by TMR as per the Duties Act 2001 which is administered by the Commissioner of State Revenue. Vehicle registration duty is payable on an application to transfer a vehicle unless an exemption applies.
