Check vehicles eligible for motor vehicle tax concession

In 2010, changes to vehicle tax were introduced for vehicles that have a lower impact on the environment.

These ‘lower taxed vehicles’ include:

• manufacturer designated petrol-electric hybrids
• diesel-electric hybrids
• plug-in hybrids
• electric vehicles
• vehicles with CO2 emissions no higher than 150 grams per kilometre in the 'combined' driving cycle
• previously eligible lower taxed vehicles with a rating of 4½ or 5 stars.

Private vehicles that have been modified for wheelchair transport may be eligible for the reduced vehicle tax rate.

The reduced rate is applied when you register the vehicle.

Note: If you receive the Commonwealth Carer Allowance, you may also be eligible. Visit Apply for a carer's registration refund for more information.
