Energy Grants (Credits) Scheme Regulations 2003
(regulation 13)
Part 1 General rules 1.2 General rules for working out quantity of fuel (1)For any method prescribed by this Schedule for the purpose of subsection 57(5) of the Act, the following general rules apply.
(2) Working out quantity of fuel
You must work out the quantity of fuel separately for each of the following classes:
(a) each type of fuel actually used or proposed to be used;
(b) all off-road diesel fuel actually used or proposed to be used;
(c) all on-road fuel actually used or proposed to be used.
Note
Under the Act, quantities are to be in whole litres.
(3)You must use only 1 method of working out the quantity of fuel.
(4) Apportionment of fuel
For the purpose of working out, in respect of a vehicle or piece of equipment, the quantity of fuel used, fuel may be apportioned between qualifying uses and disqualifying uses by reference to:
(a) kilometres actually travelled by the vehicle (taken from odometer readings); or
(b) if the vehicle operates on fixed routes, route distances (instead of kilometres travelled); or
(c) hours that the vehicle or piece of equipment was operated; or
(d) another appropriate measure.
Note:
Subclause (4) prescribes the commonly used methods of apportionment. However, because of the diverse range of activities that qualify for a grant, it is not possible to prescribe every possible measure a claimant can apply to apportion use of fuel. For example, where the fuel is used to power a generator for the purpose of generating electricity, an acceptable method of apportionment of qualifying and disqualifying uses would be by reference to kilowatt hours of electricity generated.
The claimant determines the measure of apportionment and demonstrates to the Commissioner that the measure chosen to apportion fuel use was appropriate to their circumstances.
