FBT on EVs in Australia got the fairy‑godmother treatment: many employer‑provided electric cars are FBT‑exempt.
To qualify, it must be a battery electric, hydrogen fuel‑cell or eligible plug‑in hybrid first held and used on or after 1 July 2022, priced below the fuel‑efficient Luxury Car Tax threshold, and provided to an employee as a car benefit.
The exemption also covers running costs (insurance, rego, servicing, electricity), but the benefit is still reportable, so it can affect income‑tested things like HELP and Family Tax.
From 1 April 2025, newly provided plug‑in hybrids drop out of the exemption; transitional relief applies if you were already providing the car under a binding arrangement.
