Fuel Tax Act 2006 108 Section 2‑1 Omit: This Act provides a single system of fuel tax credits. Fuel tax credits are paid to reduce the incidence of fuel tax levied on taxable fuels, ensuring that, generally, fuel tax is effectively only applied to: (a) fuel used in private vehicles and for certain other private purposes; and (b) fuel used on‑road in light vehicles for business purposes. For fuel that is not \*covered by the Opt‑in Scheme, the fuel tax credit entitlement is (with some exceptions) reduced by an amount equivalent to what the carbon price on the fuel emissions would be (if those emissions were subject to a carbon price). For fuel that is covered by that Scheme, the entitlement is not so reduced. Fuel tax credits are also provided for fuel for use in aircraft if the fuel is covered by the Opt‑in Scheme. The amount of the credit is limited to the carbon component rate that was factored into the rate of fuel tax. Fuel tax credits are also provided for gaseous fuel that is subject to the carbon pricing mechanism if the fuel is for use in agriculture, fishing operations or forestry. The amount of the credit is the amount of the carbon charge that is embedded in the price of the fuel. substitute: This Act provides a single system of fuel tax credits. Fuel tax credits are paid to reduce or remove the incidence of fuel tax levied on taxable fuels, ensuring that, generally, fuel tax is effectively only applied to: (a) fuel used in private vehicles and for certain other private purposes; and (b) fuel used on‑road in light vehicles for business purposes. 109 Subsection 40‑5(2) After “reduce”, insert “or remove”. 110 Subsections 40‑5(3) and (4) Repeal the subsections. 111 Section 41‑1 Omit: However, fuel tax credits are denied under Subdivision 41‑B if: (a) another person is already entitled to a fuel tax credit in respect of the fuel; or (b) the fuel is for use on‑road in light vehicles; or (c) the fuel is for use in vehicles that do not meet certain environmental criteria; or (d) the fuel is for use in aircraft, and is not covered by the Opt‑in Scheme. substitute: However, fuel tax credits are denied under Subdivision 41‑B if: (a) another person is already entitled to a fuel tax credit in respect of the fuel; or (b) the fuel is for use on‑road in light vehicles; or (c) the fuel is for use in vehicles that do not meet certain environmental criteria; or (d) the fuel is for use in aircraft. 112 Paragraph 41‑5(3)(b) Omit “vehicle, vessel or aircraft”, substitute “vehicle (or vessel)”. 113 Subsection 41‑15(1) Omit “this Division, Division 42 or Division 42A” (wherever occurring), substitute “this Division or Division 42”. 114 Subparagraph 41‑25(2)(a)(ii) Omit “\*agricultural property”, substitute “agricultural property”. 115 Section 41‑30 (heading) Repeal the heading, substitute: #### 41‑30 No fuel tax credit for fuel to be used in an aircraft 116 Subsection 41‑30(1) Omit “(1)”. 117 Subsection 41‑30(2) Repeal the subsection. 118 Section 41‑35 Repeal the section. 119 Division 42A Repeal the Division. 120 Section 43‑1 Omit: The amount of your credit for taxable fuel is the amount of fuel tax that was payable on the fuel: (a) reduced to take account of certain grants and subsidies that were payable in respect of the fuel (as the grants or subsidies reduced the amount of fuel tax that effectively applied to the fuel); and (b) for fuel that is not covered by the Opt‑in Scheme—reduced (with some exceptions) to take account of what the carbon price on the fuel emissions would be (if those emissions were subject to a carbon price). For fuel for use in aircraft that is covered by the Opt‑in Scheme, the amount of the credit is reduced so that it is limited to the carbon component rate that was factored into the rate of fuel tax. For gaseous fuel that is subject to the carbon pricing mechanism, the amount of the credit is the amount of the carbon charge that is embedded in the price of the fuel. substitute: The amount of your credit for taxable fuel is the amount of fuel tax that was payable on the fuel, reduced to take account of certain grants and subsidies that were payable in respect of the fuel (as the grants or subsidies reduced the amount of fuel tax that effectively applied to the fuel). 121 Subsection 43‑5(1) Repeal the subsection, substitute: (1) The \*amount of your tax fuel credit for taxable fuel is the amount of \*effective fuel tax that is payable on the fuel. > Note: The amount of the credit may be reduced under section 43‑10. 122 Subsections 43‑5(4) and (5) Repeal the subsections. 123 Section 43‑8 Repeal the section. 124 Section 43‑10 (heading) Repeal the heading, substitute: #### 43‑10 Reducing the amount of your fuel tax credit 125 Subsection 43‑10(1A) Repeal the subsection. 126 Section 43‑11 Repeal the section. 127 Subdivision 43‑B Repeal the Subdivision. 128 Section 110‑5 (definition of agricultural activity) Repeal the definition. 129 Section 110‑5 (definition of agricultural construction activity) Repeal the definition. 130 Section 110‑5 (definition of agricultural property) Repeal the definition. 131 Section 110‑5 (definition of agricultural soil/water activity) Repeal the definition. 132 Section 110‑5 (definition of agricultural waste activity) Repeal the definition. 133 Section 110‑5 (definition of agriculture) Repeal the definition. 134 Section 110‑5 (definition of approved catchment area) Repeal the definition. 135 Section 110‑5 (definition of carbon reduction) Repeal the definition. 136 Section 110‑5 (definition of CNG) Repeal the definition. 137 Section 110‑5 (definition of core agricultural activity) Repeal the definition. 138 Section 110‑5 (definition of covered by the Opt‑in Scheme) Repeal the definition. 139 Section 110‑5 (definition of earthworks) Repeal the definition. 140 Section 110‑5 (definition of fish) Repeal the definition. 141 Section 110‑5 (definition of fishing operations) Repeal the definition. 142 Section 110‑5 (definition of forestry) Repeal the definition. 143 Section 110‑5 (definition of half‑year) Repeal the definition. 144 Section 110‑5 (definition of horticulture) Repeal the definition. 145 Section 110‑5 (definition of livestock) Repeal the definition. 146 Section 110‑5 (definition of livestock activity) Repeal the definition. 147 Section 110‑5 (definition of LNG) Repeal the definition. 148 Section 110‑5 (definition of pearling operations) Repeal the definition. 149 Section 110‑5 (definition of port) Repeal the definition. 150 Section 110‑5 (definition of processing of fish) Repeal the definition. 151 Section 110‑5 (definition of public authority) Repeal the definition. 152 Section 110‑5 (definition of renewable diesel) Repeal the definition. 153 Section 110‑5 (definition of sundry agricultural activity) Repeal the definition. 154 Section 110‑5 (definition of taxable fuel) Repeal the definition, substitute: > taxable fuel means fuel in respect of which duty is payable under: (a) the Excise Act 1901 and the Excise Tariff Act 1921; or (b) the Customs Act 1901 and the Customs Tariff Act 1995; but does not include fuel covered by: (c) item 15, 20 or 21 of the Schedule to the Excise Tariff Act 1921; or (d) any imported goods that would be classified to item 15 of the Schedule to the Excise Tariff Act 1921, if the goods had been manufactured in Australia. > Note: Item 15 of the Schedule to the Excise Tariff Act 1921 deals with certain petroleum based oils and greases.
