The NT has the most generous electric car concessions in the country, but they end on 30 June 2027: free registration and up to $1,500 off stamp duty.
| Incentive | Who gets it | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Free registration | Plug-in electric and plug-in hybrid cars, new and existing, including interstate transfers and imported cars | No registration charge, applied automatically at renewal. The Motor Accidents Compensation (MAC) charge, GST and the administration fee still apply. From 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2027. |
| Stamp duty concession | Electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell cars valued up to $50,000 | Up to $1,500 off, applied automatically on registration or transfer. For cars above $50,000, 3% duty applies to the amount over $50,000. From 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2027. |
| Incentive | Details |
|---|---|
| Home and business charger grants | $1,000 for homeowners and $2,500 for businesses, until 30 June 2024. |
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Business EV Charger Grants Scheme | Up to $2,500. NRMA lists it as closed, but its own introduction says the grants remain open. Check the NT Government page. |
| Incentive | Who gets it | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Fringe benefits tax (FBT) exemption | Employees leasing a zero or low emission car through a novated lease, under the luxury car tax threshold | Makes novated leasing cheaper. The 2026 Federal Budget plans to reduce the full exemption over three years, so check what applies to your lease. |
| Higher luxury car tax threshold | Buyers of fuel-efficient cars, including electric cars | $91,387 in 2025-26, rising to $91,661 in 2026-27. Petrol and diesel cars face the tax above $80,567, rising to $80,809. |
| Customs duty removed | Battery electric, plug-in hybrid and hydrogen cars under the luxury car tax threshold | In place since July 2022. |
| DRIVEN Charger Rebate Scheme | Licensed motor dealers, service centres and repairers with qualified EV staff | Up to $2,500 per smart charger, capped at $20,000 per site. $40 million in total. Closes 5pm AEST on 30 April 2028. |
Planned: New luxury car tax category for zero emission cars. A $120,000 threshold from 1 July 2027, under the Australia-EU free trade agreement signed on 24 March 2026. It depends on legislation passing.
The NT calculator applies both concessions. The comparison assumes the electric car pays the registration of a 4 cylinder car once the concession ends.
