Check if you can claim for fuel tax credits

You can claim credits for the fuel tax (excise or customs duty) included in the price of fuel used in business activities.

You can claim for taxable fuel that you purchase, manufacture or import. Just make sure it’s used in your business. Taxable fuels include liquid fuels, fuel blends and gaseous fuels.

Check what activities you can claim for

You can claim for business activities in:

•  machinery
•  plant
•  equipment
•  heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonnes

To be able to claim, you must be registered for goods and services tax (GST) and fuel tax credits.
