  • I'm not suggesting having two vehicles (although lets be honest, most farms have plenty so it's probably a non-issue). The point is, having a tax break for a vehicle that does more damage, no matter if it's used for work, shouldn't happen. Use a tractor with a trailer on the farm, use a ute that weighs the same as a car for your 'supplies' (which it appears is what you already have, it's not like you're in a massive twincab). No massive vehicles on the road, no tax "hit".

  • Tractors are not as functional as you'd (generalised you) like them to be. And they're crazy expensive, both to own and maintain.

  • Yeah, but a lot of farms already have them. Same as the utes above. It's the new stuff that would be impacted by 'proper' taxing so it doesn't impact any of these.

    Isn't fuel a tax writeoff for farmers already? Why have a separate tax break on the vehicle?

    Also, if they did still want the tax break, it's easy to categorise 'flat bed work truck' vs. Chelsea Tractor and tax accordingly.
