The ACT government has flagged lifting the 3 per cent sales tax on used electric vehicles to further extend the incentives offered to switch to zero emission vehicles and make them more affordable.

Scrapping the sales tax would save around $600 on the purchase of a $20,000 used electric vehicle (EV) in the ACT.
