ACT Party transport spokesperson Simon Court has confirmed that the party plans to repeal the Clean Car Discount, Clean Car Standard, and Zero Carbon Act should it become part of the next New Zealand government.
“Why should tradies be taxed to subsidise Teslas? ACT says the Clean Car Discount and Clean Car Standard should go,” said Court.
“The ute tax is expected to increase the price of used cars by 20 to 25 per cent, making life tougher for everyday Kiwis grappling with the cost-of-living crisis. ACT is the only party who has voted against it at every opportunity in Parliament.”
