The state will increase its controversial EV and PHEV tax again, as it abolishes its EV rebate reportedly early.
www.whichcar.com.auHere’s the latest on the Victorian car registration rebate.
- What it is: Victoria is offering a one-off 20% rebate on registration for eligible light vehicles registered to your name, designed to ease cost-of-living pressures. The rebate covers 2025/26 registration fees and is claimed via Service Victoria.
- Eligibility and claim window: Eligible vehicle owners can apply from June 1 to July 31. You can claim the rebate for up to two vehicles registered under your name.
- Amount and typical impact: For a typical rego bill around $930.70, the rebate could be up to about $186 per vehicle, or up to $372 for two vehicles. This is a one-time payment tied to the 2025/26 period.
- Context and related measures: The rebate is part of broader cost-of-living support, alongside other measures such as temporarily reduced public transport fares.
- How to apply: Applications will be submitted through the Service Victoria platform starting June 1; confirm you meet vehicle and registration criteria before applying. For specifics, refer to the official VicRoads and Victorian government pages.
