Government Rebate

The Australian Government has established the LPG Vehicle Scheme to assist private use motorists with the purchase of a new LPG vehicle or the conversion of a new or used petrol or diesel vehicle to LPG.

Two different grants are available:

  • A grant of $2,000 will be paid following the LPG conversion of a new or used petrol or diesel motor vehicle.
  • A grant of $1,000 will be paid following the purchase of a new motor vehicle with an LPG unit fitted at the time of manufacture of the vehicle.

An eligible vehicle:

  • Is for private use (not commercial or business use)
  • Is a passenger or light commercial vehicle less than 3.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Mass
  • Must be registered in the Australian state or territory of residence of claimant
  • Is not subject to a novated lease or salary sacrifice arrangement
  • Must be registered for private use in NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, and the ACT
  • Must be declared for private use if registered in SA, TAS and NT

You do not have to pay income tax on the grant or declare it on your income tax return.  Driving your car to and from your place of employment is not considered business use.

The grants are available to registered owners of a new vehicle with an LPG unit fitted at the time of manufacture of the vehicle or registered owners who have a new or used petrol or diesel vehicle converted to LPG on or after 14 August 2006.

Please ensure that your installer is properly accredited. LPGAS1 is AAFRB and VACC accredited
