REDUCED LUXURY CAR TAX FOR ELECTRIC CARS

[marty]

Hi all,

just pulled this of the TESLA Motors web site:

REDUCED LUXURY CAR TAX FOR ELECTRIC CARS

The Luxury Car Tax threshold for a fuel efficient vehicle is AU$75,375 compared to AU$57,466 for conventional vehicle. Save over AU$5,000 with a Tesla Roadster relative to a similarly priced petrol vehicle.

Electric Vehicles registered in the Australian Capital Territory are exempt from vehicle stamp duty – Save over $8,580 with a Tesla Roadster.

Electric Vehicles registered in Victoria receive a $100 reduction in registration fee per annum.


I did not know that....

So when I order my Model S I have to get an address in the ACT

Good plan, Marty. But not for me . . . I wouldn't survive those frosty mornings - my blood has got too thin.

Aussie pollies like their tax too much, ( and most are climate change deniers ) to make many concessions for E.V.s..

I have drawn local State pollies' attention to concessional tax regimes overseas for E.V.s, but just ran into stone walls.
