Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: Sets the Road User Charge at 25.5 cents per litre for taxable fuel used by heavy vehicles on public roads.

Who it affects: Truck and bus operators who claim fuel tax credits. The charge reduces the amount of fuel tax credit they can claim, meaning they effectively pay extra for diesel used on public roads (to help fund road maintenance).

Why it matters: This is the mechanism by which heavy vehicle operators contribute to the cost of the roads they use. Rather than paying tolls, operators pay this charge through a reduced fuel tax credit, with the money going toward road infrastructure.

Key detail: The 25.5 cent rate applied to fuel used from 1 July 2012 onwards.
