A Hackers Guide to Beat the Ute Tax or Nab a Clean Car Discount

Here’s how to (i) get a ute now and beat the ute tax ($0 ute tax), or (ii) get an EV or hybrid before the $7,015 discount is taken away.

If you need a ute now and can’t wait until next year when the ute tax will [hopefully] be gone, there’s a clever hack that will get you into a new ute right now at $0 ute tax…

It’s a little-known hack, but buying second hand will beat the ute tax. That’s because the ute tax is only charged once, when a vehicle is first registered.

Beat the ute tax by getting a late model, ex-lease ute instead of a brand new one.

Both National and ACT have promised to remove the Clean Car Discount scheme by the end of the year.

It’s good news for tradies and farmers who need utes for their work and have no other choice, but bad news for EV and Hybrid buyers.

With Toyota and Ford pushing for any changes to the clean car discount to be made immediately, rather than giving several months warning for buyers and sellers to game the system, the discounts could be taken away as early as this month. Yikes!

The time for EV and Hybrid buyers to act is now if you want to get the clean car discount of up to $7,015.
