Fuel tax credit eligibility tool

This decision tool is designed to help you work out whether the fuel you acquired after 1 July 2012, for use in your business, is eligible for fuel tax credits. It also provides you with the fuel tax credit rates for that fuel.

You cannot use this tool if you use fuel in a heavy vehicle travelling on a public road for a purpose other than for travelling on a public road - for example, fuel used to operate a refrigeration unit of a refrigerated trailer. This fuel use will be included when the eligibility tool is updated from 1 July 2013. If you use fuel in your heavy vehicle other than for travelling on a public road, and need further information: refer to Fuel tax credits - correction of credits relating to the road user charge for certain fuel uses in heavy vehicles phone us on 13 28 66 between 8.00am and 6.00pm, Monday to Friday.

If you find out that you are eligible, you need to use the correct fuel tax credit rate * to calculate your entitlement.

Generally you can claim fuel tax credits:

• for fuel on which excise or customs duty has been paid **
• where another entity has not previously been entitled to a fuel tax credit.

You can only claim fuel tax credits for:

• liquid fuels (for example, diesel and petrol)
• gaseous fuels (for example, LPG - liquefied petroleum gas).

* Fuel tax credit rates are subject to change.

** The exception to this rule is duty paid non-transport LPG and LNG used in certain exempt activities. If you claim fuel tax credits for CNG refer to Gaseous fuels.

For the latest rates refer to Fuel tax credit rates and eligible fuels.
