The New Tax Strategy For EV Buyers
The government is encouraging the uptake of electric vehicles with this new strategy. If you buy an electric vehicle before the end of this financial year (30 June 2023), you can claim it as a tax deduction in your business.
Previously, if your logbook had 50% business use, and 50% private use, you could only claim 50% of the car in your business.
But what’s happening with the electric vehicles, regardless of what that percentage use is, even if it’s 50% personal use and 50% is business use, you can claim 100% of it still. Since it is FBT exempt there are no tax consequences.
It’s beneficial for professional people who don’t travel much and usually have less of that logbook percentage and are able to claim really less of their cars anyway.
NOTE: This would have some impact on your reportable Fringe Benefits on your tax return which can change HECS payments and some other government benefits.
