Note 3: Fuel tax credit rates change for liquid fuels used in a heavy vehicle for travelling on a public road due to changes in the road user charge, which increases by 6% each year over 3 years, from:
- 28.8 cents per litre in 2023–24, to
- 30.5 cents per litre in 2024–25, and to
- 32.4 cents per litre in 2025–26.
Note 4: Fuel tax credit rates change for gaseous fuels due to changes in the road user charge, which increases by 6% each year over 3 years, from:
- 38.5 cents per kilogram in 2023–24, to
- 40.8 cents per kilogram in 2024–25, and to
- 43.2 cents per kilogram in 2025–26.
Currently, the road user charge reduces fuel tax credits for gaseous fuels to nil.
