A company may be entitled to a refundable tax offset in respect of hydrogen produced in Australia between the start of 1 July 2027 and the end of 30 June 2040.
One requirement for entitlement to the offset is that the company must have created a certificate (called a PGO certificate) that relates to the hydrogen. The certificate is created under the Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Act 2024 and it must be registered under that Act.
Another requirement is that the facility at which the hydrogen is produced, and the production pathway for the hydrogen, must be specified in a production profile that is certified by the Clean Energy Regulator under this Division. The hydrogen must also have been produced during a particular period (which is called an offset period, and which cannot be longer than 10 years) that is associated with production at the facility in accordance with the production pathway.
The amount of the tax offset is $ 2 per whole kilogram of hydrogen (though this may be reduced in certain circumstances).
