This instrument sets the road user charge for heavy vehicles at 26.4 cents per litre (A$0.264), effective 1 July 2021. It affects truck, bus and coach operators (typically vehicles over 4.5 tonnes) and businesses claiming heavy‑vehicle fuel tax credits. The charge reduces those credits, raising operating costs as a way to make heavy vehicles contribute to road wear.
