Fuel tax credit rate changes from 1 July 2016

Changes to rates for heavy vehicles, biodiesel and ethanol

On 1 July 2016 fuel tax credit rates will increase for:


  • heavy vehicles that use taxable fuel such as diesel or petrol, and travel on public roads, increased to 13.6 cents per litre due to a decrease in the road user charge
  • biodiesel and fuel ethanol manufactured in Australia changed due to excise duty rates taking effect for biofuels.
  • The new rates apply from 1 July 2016. Please ensure that you use the correct rate when completing your July - September 2016 business activity statements.



Fuel tax credit rates are indexed twice a year in line with the consumer price index. This occurs in February and August.
