This is an estimate only — final costs depend on the specific vehicle, shipping method and your state's compliance requirements. Use it to get a ballpark before you enquire.
This calculator is currently built for Australian imports (GST, import duty and Luxury Car Tax). Importing to the UK or USA? The tax structure is different — enquire and we'll run the numbers for your destination.
This estimate is above the Luxury Car Tax threshold — LCT will likely apply on top of this figure. See the note below.*
* About Luxury Car Tax (LCT)
If your car's value — including GST and customs duty, once registered and ready to drive away — exceeds the LCT threshold of $80,809 (the standard threshold for 2026–27), Luxury Car Tax applies at 33% on the amount over that threshold. LCT is not included in the estimate above.
Example — suppose your imported car has:
- LCT value (including GST and customs duty): $120,000
- LCT threshold: $80,809 (standard threshold for 2026–27)
Calculation:
- Excess over threshold: $120,000 − $80,809 = $39,191
- Remove GST: $39,191 × 10/11 = $35,628
- Apply 33% LCT: $35,628 × 33% = $11,757 LCT payable
