Under a Novated Lease arrangement car running costs include items such as registration, insurance, fuel, servicing, maintenance and so on.
VicRoads (Victorian Government vehicle registration authority) have issued an Electric Vehicle Road-user charge based on kilometers travelled and a cents per kilometer fee.
The Victorian Government introduced the road user charge as a way for EV owners to pay their fair share for road maintenance and infrastructure. Petrol and Diesel driven cars contribute by paying for the fuel excise which is included in the price per litre of fuel.
The EV Road-user fee relates to the actual on-road use of the car.
If the fee remains unpaid after due payment date, VicRoads may suspend or cancel the car registration.
Question:
May the VicRoads EV Road-user charge be considered a car running cost under a Novated Lease arrangement?
