Of course, it’s income for the dealer. From his prospective, it’s just like I gave him $4500 down, except the money comes from the government. I don’t know how it could be free of tax.

Because he’s supposed to give it all to the person who traded in the car?
I guess he claims the rebate as income, and the payment to the customer as an expense, and comes out even.
And the accountants win.
