Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument sets the Road User Charge at 23.1 cents per litre ($0.231) for taxable fuel used by heavy vehicles travelling on public roads, effective from 1 July 2011.

What this means: The Road User Charge acts as a fee on fuel used by trucks and buses. While most businesses can claim back (as a "fuel tax credit") the full tax paid on fuel, heavy vehicle operators only receive the difference between the fuel tax and this charge. The revenue helps fund road maintenance and construction.

Who it affects:

Operators of heavy vehicles (typically trucks and buses over 4.5 tonnes) using public roads
Businesses claiming fuel tax credits for heavy vehicle operations

Why it matters: This rate directly reduces the amount of fuel tax credits that transport businesses can claim, affecting their operating costs and cash flow.
