You can use the basic method for heavy vehicles to calculate fuel tax credits for diesel used in heavy vehicles if you claim less than $10,000 each year. The method makes it easier to work out on and off public road use.

You can use this method for diesel acquired on or after 1 October 2020:

• Step 1: Calculate litres of diesel used on public roads
• Step 2: Calculate litres of diesel used off public roads
• Step 3: Calculate your fuel tax credits for the tax period
