... Lawyer Jack McLean filed paperwork with the High Court on Thursday, arguing the State of Victoria doesn't have the power to impose such a levy.
Section 90 of the Constitution gives the Commonwealth the exclusive power to impose duties and excises and, as a tax on the consumption of goods, Mr McLean says that's what the electric vehicle levy is.
"I think people will be used to having income tax taken by the federal government, GST and the fuel tax taken by the federal government," he said.
"There's a reason for that - the federal government has the power to do so that the state governments do not have that power."
Ms Davis has been driving an electric vehicle since 2012 and says the tax is a backward step in affordability
ACT begins offer of free rego and zero interest loans for electric vehicles
MAY 24, 2021
From today, new zero emissions vehicles purchased in the ACT will have their government registration fees waived for the next two years.
The registration fee waiver wasincluded in a governing agreement signed between the ACT Labor and ACT Greens parties following the last ACT election. In addition to the two-year waiver of registration fees, ACT drivers are also able to access up to $15,000 in interest free loans to help cover the upfront purchase cost of an electric vehicle.
The initiative was announced in November last year but has now come into effect and will apply to any zero emissions vehicle purchased on or after 24 May 2021.
The waiver will also apply to both new and used vehicle purchases that occur on or after that date.
The annual government registration fee for a passenger vehicle in the ACT ranges from $314.40 to $572.90, depending on the weight of the vehicle being registered. In addition, drivers will still be required to pay for a number of other charges, including compulsory third party insurance and other road safety tariffs.
Newly purchased zero emissions vehicles in the ACT also remain eligible for a substantial discount on stamp duty, and electric vehicles purchased prior to 24 May 2021 will continue to receive a 20 per cent ongoing discount to their registration fees.
