SECTION 43-8 WORKING OUT AMOUNT OF CARBON REDUCTION  
Amount of carbon reduction: general rule

43-8(1)
Subject to subsections (3) and (4), the *amount of carbon reduction that applies to a particular quantity of taxable fuel you acquire, manufacture or import is worked out, using the following formula:

Quantity of fuel × Carbon price × Carbon emission rate

where:

carbon emission rate
means:

(a) if the fuel is gasoline - 0.0024; or

(b) if the fuel is LPG - 0.0016; or

(c) if the fuel is LNG - 0.0029; or

(d) if the fuel is CNG - 0.0029; or

(e) if the fuel is denatured ethanol for use in an internal combustion engine - nil; or

(f) if the fuel is biodiesel or renewable diesel - nil; or

(g) for any other taxable fuel (other than a blend of taxable fuels) - 0.0027.

If the fuel is a blend, see subsection (3).

carbon price
means:

(a) if you acquire, manufacture or import the fuel in the financial year starting on 1 July 2012 - 2,300 cents; or

(b) if you acquire, manufacture or import the fuel in the financial year starting on 1 July 2013 - 2,415 cents; or

(c) if you acquire, manufacture or import the fuel in the financial year starting on 1 July 2014 - 2,540 cents; or

(d) if you acquire, manufacture or import the fuel in the *half-year starting on 1 July 2015 or a later half-year - the amount that applies to that half-year under subsection (2).

In applying the formula in subsection (1):

(a) first, calculate, to 3 decimal places (rounding up if the fourth decimal place is 5 or more), the product of:
