Statutory review of the electric car discount

We are seeking your views on the electric car discount.

The review invites written submissions that respond to the terms of reference. In particular, the review would welcome evidence or analysis that helps to address the following questions.

1. Were the tax exemptions (from FBT and import tariffs) effective in encouraging the uptake of zero or low emissions vehicles? What was the role of the tax exemptions compared to other factors that influenced the uptake of electric vehicles? The review is particularly interested in the impacts on early adopters, and how support of the market may have had flow‑on impacts such as the development of charging infrastructure, or the broadening and deepening of the electric vehicle market.
   

2. How did the eligibility criteria in relation to vehicle type impact the uptake of zero or low emissions vehicles? This could include responses that go to the type of vehicle eligible.
   

3. Other evidence relevant to the future operation of the electric car discount for eligible electric cars.

For more detail on the scope of the review and questions to consider in public submissions, see the Terms of Reference.
