Episode Details

Australias government is scaling back a sweet tax break for electric vehicles, starting next year. From April 2027, EVs costing over $75,000 will lose their full fringe benefits tax exemption, paying just 75% of the usual rate instead. By April 2029, every electric vehicle will face the same discounted tax. This move aims to save the government $1.7 billion over four years, amid budget squeezes from hospitals, defense, and inflation. Existing leases will be grandfathered, and the change encourages manufacturers to introduce cheaper EVs to keep incentives alive without overspending.
