Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination sets the road user charge at 21.7 cents per litre of taxable fuel.

Who this affects: Heavy vehicle operators — mainly trucking companies and bus operators — who claim fuel tax credits for fuel used on public roads.

How it works: This charge acts as a road toll collected through the fuel tax system. 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.

When it applies: From 1 July 2009.
