Under the ‘all other business uses’ category, you can claim fuel tax credits for liquid and gaseous fuels used to power auxiliary equipment in your heavy vehicles. Examples include:
- the mixing barrel of a concrete truck
- garbage bin lifters and compacting mechanisms of a garbage truck
- the refrigeration unit of a vehicle that transports temperature-sensitive goods, like food
- elevated work platforms.
The fuel may power the auxiliary equipment from:
- the tank that fuels the main engine
- a separate fuel tank
- power from the main engine (known as 'power take-off') which in turn increases the amount of fuel used.
