Buying or Selling a Vehicle? The ATO Will Know
ATO motor vehicle registries data-matching program
The ATO is acquiring motor vehicle registries data from state and territory authorities from the 2026 to the 2030 income years.
The information will be matched against ATO records to identify taxpayers who are not meeting their registration, lodgment, reporting, or payment obligations across a number of taxes (including GST, FBT, fuel tax credits and income tax).
The data will also be used to support ATO compliance activities through modelling, risk profiling and case selection.
The data collected may include identification details for purchasers, sellers and other relevant parties, together with transaction dates and types, sale prices, market values, vehicle garage addresses, intended use, vehicle specifications and registration details.
The ATO expects to collect data relating to approximately 2.5 million individuals each financial year.
