Fuel tax credits following a disaster

You may be able to use the simplified fuel tax credits method to calculate your claims if you:

  • are a farmer and your business or residential address is in one of the postcodes identified as impacted by the disaster
  • have received a lodgment and payment deferral regardless of how much you claim each year
  • are not a farmer but live in one of the impacted postcodes.

This means you can use the fuel tax credit rate that applies at the end of the BAS period to simplify calculating how much fuel you purchased for the period.

For more detail, see fuel tax credits following a disaster and PCG – 2019/2 Fuel tax credits – practical compliance methods for farmers in disaster affected areas.
