Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination sets the Road User Charge at 21 cents ($0.21) per litre for taxable fuel used by heavy vehicles on public roads.

What this means:

Heavy vehicle operators (trucks, buses, etc.) can claim fuel tax credits to offset the tax paid on diesel and other fuels
The Road User Charge reduces those credits to account for wear and tear on public roads
This instrument fixes that deduction at $0.21 per litre, effective from 1 January 2009
It replaces (revokes) the previous 2006 determination

Who it affects:

Businesses operating heavy vehicles (generally over 4.5 tonnes) on Australian public roads
These operators effectively pay 21 cents per litre more for fuel than the full fuel tax credit amount, representing their contribution to road maintenance costs
