Did you know that fuel tax credits change regularly? Here's how to get your claim right this quarter.
Check you used the reduced rates that applied for fuel acquired between 30 March and 28 September 2022 (during the temporary reduction in fuel excise duty).
If you didn’t use the fuel tax calculator, you may have overclaimed. For example, if you only used fuel in your heavy vehicle for travelling on public roads in this period, you weren't eligible to claim fuel tax credits.
Fuel tax credit rates increased 1 February in line with fuel excise duty indexation. Apply the new rate to get more from your fuel tax credits.
Remember, when you’re calculating fuel tax credits on your BAS:
- use our fuel tax credit calculator every time you make a claim
- you can easily fix errors and make adjustments on your current BAS
- always keep accurate records to support your claims.
Registered tax and BAS agents can help you with your BAS.
