421-1 What this Division is about

A company may be entitled to a refundable tax offset in respect of hydrogen produced in Australia between the start of 1 July 2027 and the end of 30 June 2040.

One requirement for entitlement to the offset is that the company must have created a certificate (called a PGO certificate) that relates to the hydrogen. The certificate is created under the Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Act 2024 and it must be registered under that Act.

Another requirement is that the facility at which the hydrogen is produced, and the production pathway for the hydrogen, must be specified in a production profile that is certified by the Clean Energy Regulator under this Division. The hydrogen must also have been produced during a particular period (which is called an offset period, and which cannot be longer than 10 years) that is associated with production at the facility in accordance with the production pathway.

The amount of the tax offset is $2 per whole kilogram of hydrogen (though this may be reduced in certain circumstances).

421-5 Company entitled to refundable tax offset for hydrogen produced in Australia

(1) A company is entitled to a *tax offset under this section (the hydrogen production tax offset ) for an income year in respect of a kilogram of hydrogen produced in Australia during the income year if:

(a) the income year:

(i) starts on or after 1 July 2027; and

(ii) ends before 1 July 2040; and

(b) there is a *registered PGO certificate that relates to the kilogram of hydrogen and which states:

(i) that the kilogram of hydrogen was produced at a particular facility that is specified in a *production profile, in accordance with a particular *production pathway that is specified in that production profile; and

(ii) that the kilogram of hydrogen has a *production emissions intensity that is less than or equal to 0.6 kilograms of carbon dioxide per 1 kilogram of hydrogen (see section 421-20); and

(iii) if the facility is connected to an electricity grid - that the electricity (if any) that the facility obtained from the grid and used to produce the kilogram of hydrogen satisfies the *grid matching requirements (see section 421-25); and

(c) at the time when the kilogram of hydrogen was produced, the production profile mentioned in subparagraph (b)(i) of this subsection was certified in relation to the facility and the production pathway under Subdivision 421-B; and

(d) the kilogram of hydrogen was produced during the *offset period for the facility and the production pathway (see section 421-30); and

(e) the *initial reconciliation period for the PGO certificate has ended (see section 421-35); and

(f) no *correction notice for the PGO certificate is in force (see section 421-40); and

(g) the company satisfies the requirements in subsection (2) of this section.

Note 1: For paragraph (c), when a production profile is certified, or a certification of a production profile is revoked, under Subdivision 421-B, the certification or revocation may have retrospective effect.

Note 2: The hydrogen production tax offset is a refundable tax offset (see section 67-23).

(2) The company satisfies the requirements in this subsection if:

(a) the company is a *constitutional corporation; and

(b) the company was the person who created the *registered PGO certificate under the Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Act 2024; and

(c) the company created the PGO certificate in the course of carrying on an enterprise in the indirect tax zone; and

(d) at each time when the company carries on that enterprise in the indirect tax zone during the income year, either:

(i) the company is an Australian resident and has an *ABN; or

(ii) the company is a foreign resident and has a *permanent establishment in Australia and an ABN; and

(e) the company is not an *exempt entity; and

(f) if *HPTO community benefit rules under paragraph 421-45(1)(a) of this Act apply to the company for the income year - the company meets the conditions specified in those rules.

(3) In subsection (2), carried on in the indirect tax zone and indirect tax zone have the same meaning as in the *GST Act.

421-10 Amount of hydrogen production tax offset

(1) If a company is entitled to the *hydrogen production tax offset for an income year in respect of one or more kilograms of hydrogen, the amount of the offset for the income year is $2 in respect of each whole kilogram of hydrogen.

(2) However, if:

(a) *HPTO community benefit rules under paragraph 421-45(1)(b) apply to the company for the income year; and

(b) circumstances specified in those rules exist for the company;

then the amount of the *hydrogen production tax offset is reduced by the proportion specified in those rules for those circumstances.

421-15 When hydrogen is produced

(1) For the purposes of this Division, a kilogram of hydrogen is taken to be produced at a facility at the time when the last part of the batch of hydrogen that contains the kilogram leaves the production gate (within the meaning of the Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Act 2024) for hydrogen at the facility.

(2) However, if:

(a) the production of the batch of hydrogen commenced before 1 July 2027; and

(b) the last part of the batch of hydrogen leaves the production gate for hydrogen at the facility on or after 1 July 2027;

then, for the purposes of this Division, each kilogram of hydrogen contained in the batch is taken to be produced at the facility before 1 July 2027.

Note: A company is not entitled to the hydrogen production tax offset in respect of hydrogen produced before 1 July 2027: see paragraph 421-5(1)(a).

421-20 Production emissions intensity

(1) This section applies if there is a *registered PGO certificate that:

(a) relates to a particular quantity of hydrogen (for example, a particular kilogram of hydrogen); and

(b) states that the quantity of hydrogen was produced at a particular facility in accordance with a particular *production pathway.

(2) The production emissions intensity of the quantity of hydrogen is the emissions intensity of that quantity of hydrogen taking into account all, and only, greenhouse gases emitted in relation to that quantity of hydrogen from production emissions sources for the *production pathway.

(3) In subsection (2), emissions intensity , greenhouse gas and production emissions source have the same meaning as in the Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Act 2024.

421-25 Grid matching requirements

The grid matching requirements are the requirements prescribed by the Minister by legislative instrument for the purposes of this section.

421-30 Offset period

Notice of offset start date

(1) The *holder of a *registered production profile may, by notice given to the Commissioner in the *approved form, specify for the purposes of this section a date (the offset start date )in relation to the production of hydrogen:

Offset period

(5) If a notice has been given under subsection (1) in relation to a facility and a *production pathway, the offset period for the facility and the production pathway is the period that:

(a) starts at the beginning of the offset start date specified in the notice; and

(b) ends at the earlier of the following:

(i) the end of the period of 10 years starting on the offset start date;

(ii) the end of 30 June 2040.

Exception - where production pathways at same facility are not substantially different

(6) However, if:

(a) two or more notices are given under subsection (1) in relation to the same facility (whether the notices are given at the same time or at different times); and

(b) the Clean Energy Regulator determines under subsection (7) that a group consisting of 2 or more of those notices should be treated together for the purposes of subsection (5);

then subsection (5) applies in relation to each notice in the group as if the offset start date specified in the notice was the earliest of the offset start dates specified in any of the notices in the group.

Note: If this subsection applies, the effect is that there will be a single, common offset period for the facility and each of the production pathways specified in the notices in the group.

Determination by Clean Energy Regulator

(7) If 2 or more notices are given as mentioned in paragraph (6)(a), the Clean Energy Regulator may, in writing, determine that a group consisting of 2 or more of those notices should be treated together for the purposes of subsection (5).

(8) The Clean Energy Regulator may do so only if it is satisfied that production at the facility in accordance with the *production pathway specified in any one of the notices in the group is not substantially different from production at the facility in accordance with a production pathway specified in any other notice in the group.

(9) In deciding whether to make a determination under subsection (7), the Clean Energy Regulator may have regard to any matters that the Clean Energy Regulator considers relevant, including:

(a) the nature of the facility; and

(b) the nature of the *production pathways specified in the notices; and

(c) if some of the notices are given at different times - the nature of any changes to the facility made between those times.
