When businesses buy fuel, they pay fuel tax (included in the pump price). They can claim credits back from the Tax Office for business use, but the government deducts this road user charge first. So operators receive a smaller refund than the full fuel tax they paid, with the difference being the fee for using public roads.\n\n**When it applies:** From 1 July 2009."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-no-1-2009","history":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-no-1-2009/history","analysis":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-no-1-2009/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-no-1-2009/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-no-1-2009/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/road-user-charge-determination-no-1-2009/documents"}}
