ATO data-matching for motor vehicle registrations

The ATO has gazetted a notice of a data-matching program – Motor vehicle registrations 2022-23 to
2024-25 – which will enable it to continue to acquire motor vehicle registry data from the eight State
and Territory motor vehicle registry authorities for this period. It will risk profile taxpayers buying, selling
or acquiring motor vehicles and be matched to ATO internal data holdings to “identify relevant cases
for administrative action”.

Information will be acquired from motor vehicle registry authorities where their records indicate that
both:
▪ a vehicle has been transferred or newly registered during the 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25
financial years and
▪ the purchase price or market value is equal to or greater than $10,000.
