Lol anything for revenue!

I'm not surprised by any of these ridiculous fines anymore.. sadly.

Owning and operating a car in Victoria is turning into a joke.

[r34abz]

This is an absolute joke, highest revenue raised in Vic. At this rate we will be fined for driving normally or carrying car keys ffs.

[Down_Shift]

Sounds legit.....

Randomly breath tested yesterday, ended up discussing my winner of a moustache with the officer

Everything went better than expected

[Birds]

inb4 EPA notice in the mail with a moustache drawn on it

[Rekin]

Defect cleared. Vicroads knocked back bent rego. Mechanic made a bracket to make it fit.

Epic pain; thanks goes to Revzone, Anthony & Justin for clearing it for me!

[HEKT1K]

Touché

Here's hoping my good manners preclude that outcome

Majesta is registered finally!!
The lady at Vicroads put the value of the car as $395000 instead of 395000 ($4266) and tried to charge me $16500 stamp duty LOL!

[CrispyFries]

Nice one - The guy that did my transfer forgot to charge stamp duty

[colourclassic]

I wonder if VicRoads actually ever moderates the declared value of people handing in transfer forms.

I know plenty of "friends" who under-value their cars by thousands on those forms, and for good reason, those stamp duty charges are ludicrous!

I once did a rego transfer at VicRoads and paid the stamp duty I was supposed to.

I didn't really under value the car, I just gave the purchase price to the lady, shipping/compliance wasn't included but meh

[colourclassic]

I can some-what understand the purpose of it on a new, dealer-purchased car: to channel taxes back from the purchase of a brand new vehicle. But why on used cars, do we have to pay a tax based on a percentage of purchase cost? The sale of used cars does nothing for our GDP, whether it be a $1200 car, or a $120,000 car. The stamp duty should be a fixed charge regardless of the purchase price of the car, and a reasonable amount; not $4,000! I don't understand the purpose of it, especially since we already have to pay out of our ass for registration as it is!

LOL, so did I. It was a sad day.

[KURAUN]

my stamp duty wasn't $4k, totalling with a year of rego was $781, car value was $4266 lol

Yeh I know lol, I was just trying to illustrate that the purchase of a used porsche shouldn't constitute a $4k tax just to change the name of the owner on a computer!

[KURAUN]

this is why people seriously undervalue their cars lol
