Tasmania’s electric car stamp duty exemption and $2,000 rebates have ended, and no replacement has been announced.
No state incentives for buying or registering an electric car were found for Tasmania. The federal incentives below still apply.
| Incentive | Details |
|---|---|
| Stamp duty exemption | For new and used electric and hydrogen cars, whatever the price. The State Revenue Office page used for the calculator says it covered registrations up to 31 December 2023. NRMA gives 30 June 2023, so check the date if it matters to a purchase you made then. |
| $2,000 EV rebates | The Tasmanian EV rebate and the e-mobility rebate are listed as no longer available. |
| Registration waiver for hire and drive electric cars | Ended 30 June 2023. |
| Business programs | ChargeSmart Grants (up to $50,000 co-funding), the Deliver-e Small Business Grant ($300,000 in total) and zero-interest Energy Saver Loans of $500 to $10,000, which included AC chargers. All closed. |
| 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 Tasmanian calculator charges electric cars the 4 cylinder registration rate and standard stamp duty.
