The Personal Property Securities Register (the PPSR) is the register where details of security interests in personal property can be registered and searched.
The Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia (ITSA) is the Australian Government agency responsible for administering the PPSR.
The PPSR can advise you if money is owed on a licensed second-hand car, motorcycle or self-propelled farm vehicle. Research has shown that one in five
PPSR checks reveals the vehicle to be financially encumbered. In nearly half the cases, the purchaser wasn’t aware of it.
By doing a PPSR check, you can avoid the risk of your vehicle being repossessed. The PPSR can also improve your chances of knowing if a car on offer is
stolen. Buyers purchasing vehicles from licensed motor vehicle dealers do not need to use the PPSR.
To do a PPSR check, write down the vehicles plate number, engine number and chassis/VIN number and visit www.ppsr.gov.au for an online search or call
1300 007 777. Please phone between 6:00 am to 6:00 pm AEST Monday to Friday and 7:00 am to 1:00 pm Saturday and Sunday (including public holidays).
In accordance with section 5(3)(d) of the Road Traffic (Vehicles) Act 2012, vehicles cannot be licenced in Western Australia if they are garaged in another
state.
If you are the holder of a Pension Concession card issued by Centrelink or Department of Veterans’ Affairs or a WA Senior’s Card and a Commonwealth
Senior’s Health Card holder, you may be eligible for a concession on your vehicle or driver’s licence. For further information please call DVS on 13 11 56.
The Duties Act 2008 has been amended to introduce an exemption from vehicle licence duty upon the transfer of a vehicle licence between spouses or de
facto partners of at least two years. For further information please contact the Department of Finance on 9262 1400 or visit www.finance.wa.gov.au.
The term “dutiable value” is defined by Division 5 of the Duties Act 2008. The following interpretation is provided as a guide only.
New Vehicle:
For a new vehicle (which includes a demonstration model that has been used for that purpose for not more than 2 months) that is a motor car, motor wagon or
motorcycle, the list price (see definition below), plus the price fixed by the manufacturer, importer or principle distributor as the additional retail selling price in
Western Australia for a particular type of transmission fitted to the vehicle. (For example, the set fee to upgrade a manual transmission to automatic).
Used Vehicle:
In relation to used vehicles - the amount for which the vehicle might reasonably be sold, free of encumbrance, in the open market. Where the dutiable value
or purchase price of a vehicle has been incorrectly stated the matter will be referred to the Office of State Revenue for investigation and possible prosecution .
List Price means the price that has been fixed by the manufacturer, importer or principle distributor as the retail selling price of that vehicle in Western
Australia.
NOTE: Vehicles which are transferred for no monetary gain need to have an amount provided for which the vehicle might reasonably be sold, free of
encumbrances in the open market. i.e. its dutiable value.
The purchaser of the vehicle is responsible to ensure that an approved immobiliser is installed. Any application to transfer the vehicle licence will not be
accepted if the purchaser has not declared (by signing the declaration on the front of the Notification of Change of Ownership form) that an approved
immobiliser is fitted to the vehicle and is operational. A false or misleading declaration will result in a fine. Vehicles that are 25 years or older, vehicles
that have a tare weight over 3000 kg or a GVM or aggregate weight over 4500 kg, motorcycles and some farm vehicles are exempt from the fitment of an
immobiliser.
1. If an immobiliser is not fitted to the vehicle, you must have one fitted before you can transfer or licence the vehicle. If you are unsure, contact your local
authorised immobiliser installer, visit www.transport.wa.gov.au/dvs or call DVS on 13 11 56.
2. If the vehicle you are purchasing is already fitted with an immobiliser, you must confirm that it is an approved device. An approved immobiliser is:
•‘Factoryfitted’(i.e.fittedatthetimeofmanufacture).Thevehicleowner’shandbookshouldconfirmthis.
•Selfarming(i.e.deviceswhichautomaticallyarmthemselveswithoutanyassistancefromthedriver)andpreventsthevehiclefrombeingstarted.
If you are unsure about whether the vehicle immobiliser installed is approved, check with your nearest authorised installer, visit www.transport.wa.gov.au/dvs.
or call DVS on 13 11 56.
