Fuel tax credit calculator

You cannot use this calculator if you are claiming for: alternative fuel purchased before 1 December 2011 fuel used in a heavy vehicle travelling on a public road for a purpose other than to travel on the road - for example, fuel used to operate a refrigeration unit on a refrigerated trailer. This fuel use will be included when the calculator is updated from 1 July 2013. If you use fuel in your heavy vehicle other than for travelling on the 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.

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).

If you use gaseous fuels in heavy vehicles for travelling on a public road, the road user charge (RUC) reduces any fuel tax credit entitlement to 'nil'.

This calculator uses the current fuel tax credit rates for standard fuel tax credit claims - not for adjustments.

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