The amendments to the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) (TPA) require dealers and manufacturers to advertise a ‘drive away’ price for all vehicles. This price must include all components that are able to be calculated, such as vehicle cost, along with stamp duty, taxes, registration costs or other amount that the buyer would have to pay.

For those sellers who may be affected, we strongly recommend referring to the ACCC’s Pricing Manual for the Motor Vehicle Industry, which sets out the changes in more detail.
