Features

FTC Report with an ATO Class Ruling

The Australian Tax Office (ATO) has confirmed via Class Ruling 2024/39 that the FTC report generated by EROAD's solution using the Ehubo device can be used as an official record for FTC purposes. Your reporting stands up.

Backdate your claim by up to four years

If you can show six months of consistent use, you may claim fuel tax credits for the last four years. That could mean recovering years of under-claimed rebates in a single BAS adjustment.

Faster, easier claims

EROAD streamlines your fuel tax credit claims end to end. Less admin, better accuracy, and a much simpler process, especially when fuel card data flows in automatically from Wex or Shell.

Capture vehicle activity automatically

EROAD records vehicle activity continuously to support off-road claims for both heavy and light vehicles. If it happens, it's logged.

Peace of mind with paperless, purpose-built software

EROAD's FTC solution uses simple, paperless software built specifically for Australian FTC claims. It's easy to use and fit for purpose.

Claim up to 2.5 times more for off-road use

Off-road fuel tax credit rebates can be 2.5 times higher than on-road rebates. EROAD makes off-road claims easier by using geofencing to accurately separate on-road and off-road activity, even where worksites overlap public roads.

Use geofencing to claim your full entitlement

Create geofences around permanent sites or temporary worksites. EROAD tracks every vehicle movement against those boundaries so you claim your maximum FTC entitlement without guessing.

Automated fuel data

EROAD's fuel card integration automatically pulls your fuel purchase transactions into the FTC solution. This means fuel volumes are captured, matched to telematics data, and included in your rebate calculation without anyone having to touch a spreadsheet.

Claim idle fuel on heavy vehicles

Fuel used while heavy vehicles idle is claimable. EROAD's FTC solution captures idle time and includes it in your rebate so nothing is left on the table.

Include auxiliary equipment

Set each auxiliary unit's fuel consumption rate once. EROAD automatically includes it in every FTC calculation from that point forward.

Accurate, automated calculations

Your FTC rebate is calculated automatically from the telematics and fuel card data captured by EROAD. Accurate in, accurate out.

Keep clear, archivable records

Snapshots of each FTC reporting period give your business accurate records your accountant can work with and that stand up to ATO review.

EROAD can save time and money on your fuel tax credits (FTC)

Claiming fuel tax credits is routine for many Australian businesses with fleets and off-road equipment, but many still miss out on their full fuel tax credits rebate. Whether it's off-road use, idle time, auxiliary equipment, or the time spent manually handling fuel data, the gap between what businesses claim and what they're entitled to is often significant.

Find out how EROAD's FTC solution can help your business close that gap.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fuel Tax Credits

How does EROAD help businesses maximise Fuel Tax Credit rebates?

EROAD uses highly accurate telematics data, automated FTC calculations, and reports accepted by the ATO - to help businesses claim more of the rebate they are legally entitled to. This covers fuel used on-road, off-road, during heavy vehicle idle time, and by auxiliary equipment. The optional Wex and Shell fuel card integration automates fuel transaction uploads, so no fuel data is missed.

Can EROAD support backdated Fuel Tax Credit claims?

Yes. If a business can demonstrate six months of consistent telematics use, it may claim fuel tax credits for up to the last four years, potentially recovering significant under-claimed rebates.

Why is geofencing important for FTC claims?

Geofencing accurately tracks when vehicles are operating off-road, including where worksites overlap public roads. Because off-road rebates can be up to 2.5 times higher than on-road rebates, getting this right directly increases the value of your claim.

What role does the ATO Class Ruling play in EROAD's FTC solution?

The ATO has issued Class Ruling 2024/39 confirming that the FTC report from EROAD's FTC solution, using the Ehubo device, can be used as a record for FTC purposes. This gives businesses confidence in their FTC reporting and simplifies compliance.

Does EROAD's FTC solution apply only to heavy vehicles?

No. EROAD supports FTC claims for both heavy and light vehicles. Heavy vehicles can also claim fuel used during idle time, and light vehicles can earn fuel tax credits when operating off-road.

What is the Wex and Shell fuel card integration?

EROAD's fuel card integration connects directly with Wex and Shell fuel card accounts to automatically import fuel purchase data into your FTC solution. This eliminates manual data uploads, reduces errors, and delivers more accurate fuel records for your rebate calculation.

How does EROAD handle changes to fuel tax credit rates?

EROAD automatically applies the current ATO fuel tax credit rates to your telematics and fuel transaction data. When rates change, your calculations update accordingly so your BAS submissions are always based on the correct figures.
