Updated Fuel Tax Credits Now In Place

From 1 July 2010, the fuel tax credit rate for heavy vehicles that use fuel such as diesel or petrol and travel on public roads is 15.543 cents per litre. This rate change is due to an increase in the road user charge.

A heavy vehicle is defined as:

• one with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of greater than 4.5 tonne, or
• a diesel vehicle acquired before 1 July 2006 with a GVM equal to 4.5 tonnes or more
