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.

Automated fuel tax credit reporting

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

No manual reporting. No one taking a cut of your rebate in commission fees.

Why many fleets under-claim fuel tax credits

Plenty of operators still use a standard rate, because working out real off-road use without telematics is slow and hard to back up. If your vehicles spend a lot of time off public roads, the difference can be substantial. And it isn't only about your next claim: with the right records in place, you can go back up to four years.

Are you claiming everything you can?

What you get

FTC report with an ATO class ruling

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) confirmed in Class Ruling 2026/69 that the FTC report generated by EROAD using the Ehubo device can be used as an official record for FTC purposes.

ATO Class Ruling 2026/69

Backdate your claim by up to four years

Under-claimed in past years? If you can show six months of consistent use, you may claim fuel tax credits for the last four years.

Less admin at claim time

When a BAS period ends, the distance and off-road share are already in MyEROAD, so whoever does your claim starts by checking numbers instead of chasing them.

Trips logged automatically

The Ehubo2 logs trips as they happen, so nobody has to remember weeks later where a vehicle went or how long it stayed on site.

Rate changes handled for you

Fuel tax credit rates don't stand still. EROAD FTC reporting picks up each new ATO rate as it comes in, so keeping track isn't another job on your list.

Claim more for off-road use

Fuel used off public roads earns a higher credit per litre than fuel used on them, so the split is worth getting right. Geofencing keeps the two apart, even where a worksite overlaps a public road.

Geofence your worksites

Draw a geofence in MyEROAD around a permanent site or a temporary worksite. The Ehubo2 then records each time a vehicle is inside it, and your off-road share comes straight from that.

Fuel data from Shell and WEX

Adding the 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.

How fuel card integration works

Claim idle fuel on heavy vehicles

Fuel used while heavy vehicles idle is claimable. Our 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.

Automated FTC calculations

Your claim is calculated from what the Ehubo2 recorded and the fuel records in MyEROAD, whether they came from a connected card or an upload. Accurate in, accurate out.

A record for every claim period

Each FTC reporting period is saved as a snapshot. Your accountant gets records they can work with, and if the ATO questions a claim, the evidence is already there.

Save time and money on your claims

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 our FTC solution can help your business close that gap.

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 does the ATO class ruling mean for my claim?

The ATO has issued Class Ruling 2026/69 confirming that the FTC report from EROAD, using the Ehubo device, can be used as a record for FTC purposes. This gives businesses confidence in their FTC reporting and simplifies compliance.

Which telematics products does the FTC add-on work with?

All three Ehubo2 plans: Connected, Safe Driver and Safe Driver Plus. Customers on Heavy Vehicle Compliance (Geotab) can use it through MyEROAD too. The class ruling, though, covers the FTC report generated using the Ehubo device.

What is the Shell and WEX fuel card integration?

A fuel card integration connects 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.
