Note 3: Fuel tax credit rates change for liquid fuels used in a heavy vehicle for travelling on a public road due to changes in the road user charge, which increased by 6% each year over 3 years, as follows:
- 28.8 cents per litre in 2023–24
- 30.5 cents per litre in 2024–25

Fuel tax credits are reduced to nil where the road user charge exceeds the fuel tax credit rate.
