Missed Fuel Tax Credit Claims
Definition
Forestry businesses using diesel in off-road logging equipment (tractors, harvesters) and heavy vehicles qualify for higher off-road rates but often underclaim due to lack of accurate fuel apportionment records.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 46c per litre off-road (vs 18.8c on-road); retrospective claims limited without records
- Frequency: Quarterly BAS lodgements; 4-year claim window
- Root Cause: Inability to compile historical on/off-road fuel data without telematics
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Forestry operators in Australia 🇦🇺 forfeit AUD 46c/L off-road credits annually. Automation captures maximum eligible FTCs using GPS data.
