Fuel tax credits

Work out your litres

Another simplified method for claims of less than $10,000 in fuel tax credits each year helps you work out the quantity of fuel you purchased in a BAS period.

To do this, you simply use the total cost of fuel you purchased in the BAS period divided by the average price per litre for the BAS period.

The formula is:

Total litres used = total cost of fuel purchased ÷ average price of fuel.

The average price of fuel is the average fuel price for the relevant fuel type in your area of operation for the relevant period as shown on the Australian Institute of Petroleum website.
