Land Transport (Clean Vehicle Discount Scheme Repeal) Amendment Bill
This bill ends the Clean Vehicle Discount Scheme, which gave rebates (money back) to people who bought low-emission cars like electric vehicles, and charged fees to people who bought high-emission cars. From 1 January 2024 the scheme stops. People who applied for a rebate before 31 December 2023 can still get it processed. Car dealers will no longer need to show rebate or charge information on the fuel-economy labels displayed on cars for sale.
