Get rebates on your largest expense with fuel tax credit tracking.
Fuel Tax Credits are an important entitlement for many commercial transport operators, based on apportioning fuel use between eligible activities. We can help you to reduce the complexity of your business’s fuel tax credit claims with our GPS and telematics, with automatic classification of roads and locations, tracking of mileage and key vehicle information, and fuel expense capture. Our systems are simple to use thanks to automatic calculations of off-road/on-road via GPS. They also help you to maximise your tax rebates.
Key Benefits Of Fuel Tax Credits Tracking
Maximise your fuel tax rebates using our GPS systems to automatically calculate your claims. This includes retrospective FTC claims, auxiliary equipment, “On Road” and “Off Road” travel. You can even review all aspects of your business’ fuel usage and FTC claims over a four-year retrospective period as allowed in accordance with the FTC legislation.
With precise identification of off-road activity across your entire fleet. Increase the accuracy, efficiency and transparency of your claims.
Our GPS systems take all the headache out of calculating fuel tax credits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Fuel Tax Credits (FTC)?
Put simply, fuel tax credits are a credit on the excise or customs duty paid at the pump to run light and heavy vehicles, operating machinery, and plant equipment.
However, there are specific criteria around claiming FTC which excludes certain activities such as light vehicles travelling on public roads or private use of fleet vehicles. FTC is refunded to businesses monthly by the ATO via your Business Account Statements (BAS).
What is the difference between “on-road” and “off-road” FTC rebates?
The On-road FTC rebate is a set cents per litre rate for eligible fuels used in heavy vehicles (>4.5t), and is the rebate most commonly used by businesses due to its simplicity to calculate.
The Off-road FTC rebate is a much higher cents per litre rate (normally around 2.5x more than the On-road rate) for eligible fuels used for:
- Light vehicles travelling or idling off public roads or on private property
- Heavy vehicles travelling or idling off public roads or on private property
- The use of auxiliary equipment i.e concrete trucks, compressors, air conditioning, refrigeration units etc.
The Off-road FTC rebate requires businesses to be able to show evidence of the above activities when claiming, so is often seen as more complex without the use of GPS and telematics.
What is classed as “off-road” for FTC?
The classification of an Off-road area is essentially any travel off a public road which can include areas such as farms, mining sites, quarries, construction sites, truck stops and private roads.
Am I eligible to make a retrospective FTC claim?
Yes, if you haven’t been claiming FTC at all or have under-claimed, all businesses are eligible to make a four-year retrospective claim. However, if you are looking to retrospectively claim off-road and auxiliary fuel use, you will need to be able to show a pattern of consistent six-month usage which can be achieved through telematics.
How can I improve the accuracy of my Fuel Tax Credit claims?
Using telematics and GPS tracking can significantly improve your Fuel Tax Credit (FTC) claims by automatically collecting your fleet’s trip activity and fuel usage. Combine this with automatic classification of roads & locations with all the calculations handled in the background via our integration with Prism, and you have a route to accurately maximising your claims.
