GST instalment payers
If you pay GST instalments, you can claim fuel tax credits on a quarterly basis. To do this, you need to register for fuel tax credits. When you have done this, instead of receiving an instalment notice you'll receive a quarterly BAS regardless of whether you pay two or four GST instalments for the financial year.
If you want to claim fuel tax credits for the period, or if you have an adjustment to make for a fuel tax credit overclaim, you only need to lodge a BAS.
Your fuel tax credits are not included in your displayed GST instalment amount. You need to report your actual fuel tax credits separately at label 7D on your BAS.
