National Road Transport Association
NatRoad has had a number of recent inquiries about the current fuel tax rebate rates. The rates are currently set out at the ATO web site: https://www.ato.gov.au/business/fuel-schemes/fuel-tax-credits—business/rates—business/
NatRoad questioned the accuracy of the published rates, and the ATO clarified how they had been reached. In summary:
- FTC rates for heavy vehicles for travelling on a public road increased to 16.9 cpl as part of the February 2021 indexation.
- The rates then dropped to 16.3 cpl from 1 July as a result of the Road User Charge (RUC) increase.
- The rates then increased to 16.9 cpl as part of the August 2021 indexation.
The confusion around the rates appears to be related to the RUC - which increased on 1 July from 25.8 cpl to 26.4 cpl. This affected the FTC rate for heavy vehicles travelling on a public road.
