Fuel Tax Credits
Why it helps

What Fuel Tax Credits changes

Maximise your FTC entitlement and remove admin from your business with driver-facing telematics. EROAD’s FTC solution works alongside Fringe Benefits Tax in the same MyEROAD platform as the rest of your fleet.

Drive incredible benefits into your business

For most businesses, calculating and claiming their full FTC entitlement is hard work, time consuming and tedious. While the standard rebate is fairly easy to work out, claiming for private road use and equipment needs accurate logs, equipment lists, and detailed receipts.

ATO Class Ruling

The Australian Tax Office (ATO) has issued a Class Ruling confirming that the Fuel Tax Credit (FTC) report generated from the EROAD FTC solution, using the Ehubo device, can be used as a record for FTC purposes (Class Ruling 2021/95).

Backdate your FTC claim by up to four years

That’s right. If you can demonstrate a six-month pattern of consistent use, you can go back four years to recover under-claimed rebates.

Capabilities

What it actually does

Easier, faster, and higher claims

EROAD allows you to streamline your FTC rebate claims, making them easier and more accurate while reducing admin time. Your credits are seamlessly calculated and reported for your business activity statements, so you can receive the full rebate you’re entitled to, even when fuel tax credit rates change.

Capture vehicle activity to support your rebate claim

EROAD lets you easily capture vehicle activity to support your off-road claim, for both heavy and light vehicles. Trucks log off-road use automatically, the moment a vehicle enters a private road, and light vehicles accrue fuel tax credits when off-road too.

EROAD uses High Frequency Polling, which produces a location event, or ping, every 250m or where a significant event occurs, such as turning, vehicle statistics, ignitions and stops. Latency events may impact on this.

Claim up to 2.5 times more for off-road than on-road

EROAD makes off-road claims easier than ever by creating geofences where worksites overlap public roads, and you can even set simple geofencing boundaries for temporary work sites. Does it matter? You can claim 2.5 times more for off-road rebates than on-road, so yes, it matters.

Claim everything you’re entitled to

Set your auxiliary equipment’s fuel consumption rate once and it will automatically be included in your fuel tax credit calculations. EROAD’s FTC solution even lets you claim rebates for fuel used when your heavy vehicles idle, so you can claim everything you’re legally entitled to.

Want to run down idle time as well as claim for it? See Idle Reports.

Accurate, archivable records for your accountant

With snapshots of your FTC reporting periods, your business gains accurate records for reference, for your accountant to work with. EROAD’s unique paperless, easy to use software is fit for purpose, providing peace of mind when doing your FTC rebate claims.

What it looks like in practice

$1310.00 AUD per vehicle recovered in backdated rebates
The most exciting outcome from using the EROAD Fuel Tax Credit solution, was the recovery of under claimed rebates, it was a great bonus to receive, $1310.00 AUD per vehicle in fuel tax credit rebates.

If you can show a six-month pattern of consistent use by telematics, you can claim fuel tax credits for the last four years. For some of our customers, this has meant receiving significant one-off, backdated rebates.
