If you are on the market for a caravan or camper trailer and you live in New South Wales, you will soon have 1,000 good reasons to cheer!

Caravans and camper trailers in NSW will be around $1,000 cheaper as of July 1, 2009 thanks to the abolition of Stamp Duty on caravans and camper trailers which was announced in this month’s NSW State Budget.

Scrapping of stamp duty will benefit both NSW consumers and businesses alike, bringing them in line with all Australian states.

“Consumers of caravan and camper trailer products have been severely disadvantaged over the years by having to pay excessive taxes in NSW when they could purchase the same vehicle interstate for substantially less,” said Caravan and Camping Industry Association of NSW (CCIA NSW) CEO Barry Baillie.

Mr Baillie said the $1,000 savings would now give buyers in NSW the opportunity to spend more on their travels. “As the fastest growing domestic tourism sector in Australia, caravan and camper trailer holidays will now be even more affordable for Australians this year with additional dollars being spent in regional communities on caravan and RV trips.”
