Logan Office of Economic Development (LOED) has partnered with Accountants Advantages QLD Pty Ltd to present this workshop on Electric Vehicles (EVs) for Business.

As fuel costs, sustainability expectations, and government incentives continue to influence business decisions, electric vehicles are becoming an increasingly attractive option for business owners. Whether you operate a single vehicle or manage an entire fleet, understanding the financial, taxation, and operational considerations of EV ownership is essential.

This workshop will provide practical information to help small business owners assess whether electric vehicles are a suitable option for their business and understand the potential benefits, costs, and tax implications associated with transitioning to EVs.

In this workshop, we will explore how electric vehicles can support business operations, reduce running costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability goals.
