Yep and $62,524.92 Aud of $362,782.25 AUD is our "Luxury car tax (LCT)". That tax was introduced to help protect the local car manufactures back in the 70s. Meanwhile the local Ford, GM, Mitsubishi and Toyota factories are now closed. All of our cars are now imported into Australia so do you think our Government will ever remove the "Luxury car tax (LCT)"? I'm going with... NO.
