DepotOps report: Fuel tax credits
Made 29 Sept 2026, 5:53 pm at depotops.com.au/fuel-tax-credits. An estimate from the figures entered, not a weighbridge certificate, permit or legal advice.
Claim back the fuel tax on diesel your business uses. The rate depends on the date you bought the fuel and whether it went into a heavy vehicle on a public road or into everything else, so each line uses the ATO rate for its own date.
Rules checked 29 Sept 2026 against ATO fuel tax credit rates for business and ATO fuel tax credit rates: list of rate periods. Official pages are watched weekly for changes.
One line per purchase or per use. The rate depends on the date you bought the fuel, not when you used it.
$213.00
21.3 c/L
$537.00
53.7 c/L
For a prime mover, use its gross combination mass (GCM). A rigid truck's trailer does not count.
Heavy vehicle: fuel used travelling on public roads can claim the on-road rate.
Heavy diesel vehicles made before 1 January 1996 must also meet an environmental criterion (for example an accredited maintenance program). Check the ATO rules before claiming.
