The most cost-effective way to get a Tesla
The recent “Electric Car Discount” policy means theat fringe benefits tax (FBT) exemption is applied across Tesla models up to the Luxury Car Tax threshold ($91,661 for the 2026/27 financial year). The FBT exemption also applies to most vehicle running costs covered by a novated lease.
Now’s the time to capitalise on the government’s policy for EV savings
These tax savings are Australian Government policy under the Electric Car Discount scheme. The scheme has contributed to a significant boost in EV sales, which is not a surprise given the major discounts involved. But the savings may not be around forever.
The government is currently reviewing the program, making now the ideal time to take advantage while you can.
