- reduce or defer income and
- increase deductible expenses.
Please explain fuel tax credits
ReplyDeleteFuel tax credits were introduced on 1 July 2006 for fuel used in heavy vehicles and in a range of other business activities. Eligibility was expanded on 1 July 2008 as part of a gradual implementation, up to 1 July 2012, to cover taxable fuels used in other business activities, machinery, plant and equipment.
ReplyDeleteThis means most businesses can access fuel tax credits – it is just the rate that varies, depending on your business activity

* business activities

* plant
* equipment
* heavy vehicles.
The only fuels that are not eligible are:
