As a business, fuel tax credits provide you with a credit for the fuel tax (excise or customs duty) that's included in the price of fuel used in:
- machinery
- plant
- equipment
- heavy vehicles
- light vehicles travelling off public roads or on private roads.
The credit amount depends on:
- when you acquire the fuel
- what fuel you use
- the activity you use it in.
Fuel tax credits rates change regularly so it's important to check the rates each time you do your BAS. See our Fuel tax credit tools to check your eligibility to claim fuel tax credits and the amount you can claim.
Before you can make a claim, you must be registered for GST and fuel tax credits.
