Note Off‑road diesel fuel of a kind specified in subregulation 9 (1), but acquired, manufactured or imported on or after 1 July 2006, is subject to the arrangements in theFuel Tax Act 2006 and theFuel Tax Regulations 2006 .
(regulation 13)
In this Schedule:
disqualifying use is an actual use of fuel mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of section 49 or 55 of the Act.
on‑road fuel means on‑road diesel fuel and on‑road alternative fuel.
quantity of fuel means the number of whole litres of on‑road diesel fuel, on‑road alternative fuel or off‑road diesel fuel.
sample percentage , in relation to total quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you purchased or imported into Australia in the sample period, means the quantity of that fuel that you actually used for a qualifying use, expressed as a percentage of the total quantity of the fuel.
sample period means the sample period mentioned in clause 3.2.1.
1.2 General rules for working out quantity of fuel (1) For any method prescribed by this Schedule for the purpose of subsection 57 (5) of the Act, the following general rules apply.
Working out quantity of fuel (2) You must work out the quantity of fuel separately for each of the following classes:
(a) each type of fuel actually used or proposed to be used;
(b) all off‑road diesel fuel actually used or proposed to be used;
(c) all on‑road fuel actually used or proposed to be used.
Note Under the Act, quantities are to be in whole litres.(3) You must use only 1 method of working out the quantity of fuel.
Apportionment of fuel (4) For the purpose of working out, in respect of a vehicle or piece of equipment, the quantity of fuel used, fuel may be apportioned between qualifying uses and disqualifying uses by reference to:
(a) kilometres actually travelled by the vehicle (taken from odometer readings); or
(b) if the vehicle operates on fixed routes, route distances (instead of kilometres travelled); or
(c) hours that the vehicle or piece of equipment was operated; or
(d) another appropriate measure.
Note Subclause (4) prescribes the commonly used methods of apportionment. However, because of the diverse range of activities that qualify for a grant, it is not possible to prescribe every possible measure a claimant can apply to apportion use of fuel. For example, where the fuel is used to power a generator for the purpose of generating electricity, an acceptable method of apportionment of qualifying and disqualifying uses would be by reference to kilowatt hours of electricity generated.The claimant determines the measure of apportionment and demonstrates to the Commissioner that the measure chosen to apportion fuel use was appropriate to their circumstances.
(1) You may work out the quantity of fuel you propose to use or actually used for a qualifying use in a claim period by using a basic calculation method.
(2) The basic calculation methods are the constructive method and the deductive method.
(1) In order to use the constructive method, you must have records of:
(a) the total quantity of fuel of each class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you purchased or imported into Australia in the claim period; and
(b) the quantity of fuel of each of those classes that you actually used for a qualifying use in the claim period; and
(c) the quantity of fuel of each of those classes that you propose to use for a qualifying use in the claim period; and
(d) each qualifying use in the claim period.
(2) In order to use the deductive method, you must have records of:
(a) the total quantity of fuel of each class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you purchased or imported into Australia in the claim period; and
(b) the quantity of fuel of each of those classes that you actually used for a disqualifying use in the claim period; and
(c) the quantity of fuel of each of those classes that you propose to use for a disqualifying use in the claim period; and
(d) each disqualifying use in the claim period.
Note You are required by section 27A of theProduct Grants and Benefits Administration Act 2000 to notify the Commissioner of any disqualifying use of fuel.
Constructive method — actual use (1) The constructive method of working out the quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you actually used for a qualifying use in a claim period requires you to add up the quantity of fuel in that class that you actually used for a qualifying use in the claim period.
Note See subclause 1.2 (2) for general rules for working out quantity of fuel.
Constructive method — proposed use (2) The constructive method of working out the quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you propose to use for a qualifying use in a claim period requires you to add up the quantity of fuel in that class that you propose to use for a qualifying use in the claim period.
Note See subclause 1.2 (2) for general rules for working out quantity of fuel.
Deductive method — actual use (1) The deductive method of working out the quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you actually used for a qualifying use in a claim period is:
where:
total quantity of fuel purchased or imported is the total quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you purchased or imported into Australia in the claim period.
quantity of disqualified fuel is the quantity of fuel of that class that was actually used for a disqualifying use in the claim period.
Note See subclause 1.2 (2) for general rules for working out quantity of fuel.
Deductive method — proposed use (2) The deductive method of working out the quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you propose to use for a qualifying use in a claim period is:
where:
total quantity of fuel purchased or imported is the total quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you purchased or imported into Australia in the claim period.
proposed quantity of disqualified fuel is the quantity of fuel of that class that you propose to use for a disqualifying use in the claim period.
(1) You may work out the quantity of fuel you actually used, or propose to use, for a qualifying use in a claim period using a variation of a basic calculation method.
(2) The variations of the basic calculation methods are the percentage use method and the small claimants method.
(1) In order to use the percentage use method or the small claimants method, you must have records of:
(a) the quantity of fuel of each class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you purchased or imported into Australia:
(i) if you are using the percentage use method — in the sample period; and
(ii) in any other case — in the claim period; and
(b) the quantity of fuel of each of those classes that you used for a qualifying use or disqualifying use:
(i) if you are using the percentage use method — in the sample period; and
(ii) in any other case — in the claim period; and
(c) each qualifying use and disqualifying use:
(i) if you are using the percentage use method — in the sample period; and
(ii) in any other case — in the claim period.
Note You are required by section 27A of theProduct Grants and Benefits Administration Act 2000 to notify the Commissioner of any disqualifying use of fuel.(2) If, in a claim period, 2 or more of your vehicles travel different routes or 2 or more pieces of your equipment are used in different ways, you must keep separate records for the purpose of working out the sample percentage.
(1) You may use the percentage use method to work out the quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you actually used, or propose to use, for a qualifying use in a claim period by reference to your use of that fuel in a sample period.
(2) The sample period must be:
(a) a continuous period of at least 12 weeks in a claim period; and
(b) representative of your fuel usage patterns in the claim period.
(3) For subclause (1), the quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you actually used for a qualifying use in the sample period may be worked out using the constructive method or the deductive method.
The percentage use method of working out the quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you actually used, or propose to use, for a qualifying use in a claim period is:
where:
total quantity of fuel purchased or imported in a claim period is the total quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you purchased or imported into Australia in a claim period.
3.2.3 Alternative application of percentage use method (1) If, in a claim period, 2 or more of your vehicles travel similar routes or 2 or more pieces of your equipment are used in a similar way:
(a) you may work out the sample percentage by reference to 1 of the vehicles or pieces of equipment; and
(b) the sample percentage may be applied to the other vehicles or pieces of equipment.
(2) You must be able to substantiate the reasonableness of applying the sample percentage to:
(a) a fleet of vehicles; or
(b) a number of pieces of equipment.
(3) You must work out the sample percentage separately for fuel of each class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2).
3.2.4 When you may rely on a sample percentage already worked out For the purpose of the calculation in clause 3.2.2, you may use the sample percentage you worked out in an earlier claim period in relation to fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) if:
(a) your pattern of usage of fuel of that class is substantially the same as in the earlier claim period; and
(b) the claim is made within 5 years after the end of the earlier claim period; and
(c) clause 3.2.5 does not require you to work out a new sample percentage.
3.2.5 When you need to work out a new sample percentage (1) For the purpose of the calculation in clause 3.2.2, you must work out a new sample percentage if your pattern of usage in the current claim period of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) has substantially changed since the end of the sample period in:
(a) the current claim period; or
(b) an earlier claim period.
(2) For the purpose of the calculation in clause 3.2.2 in a particular claim period, if:
(a) subclause (3) or (4) does not apply; or
(b) you do not have a current sample percentage;
you must work out a new sample percentage for that claim period.
(3) For the purpose of the calculation in clause 3.2.2 in a particular claim period, if:
(a) the total of your claims for payment of an energy grant in:
+ (i) the first 12 months after you first calculated your sample percentage; or
(ii) any of the periods of 12 months starting on the anniversary of first calculating your sample percentage;
is less than $10 000; and
(b) the claim period is within 60 months after you first calculated your sample percentage; and
(c) subclause (1) does not apply;
you may use the sample percentage for that claim period.
(4) For the purpose of the calculation in clause 3.2.2 in a particular claim period, if:
(a) the total of your claims for payment of an energy grant in the first 12 months after you first calculated your sample percentage is at least $10 000; and
(b) the claim period is within 12 months after you first calculated your sample percentage; and
(c) subclause (1) does not apply;
you may use the sample percentage for that claim period.
You may use the small claimants method to make a claim for payment of an energy grant for all or part of a claim period for actual use, or proposed use, of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) only if making the claim using that method would not result in the total amount of claims for payment of an energy grant being more than $5 000 in the current financial year.
The small claimants method of working out the quantity of fuel of a class mentioned in subclause 1.2 (2) that you actually used, or propose to use, for a qualifying use in a claim period requires you to make a reasonable estimate of the quantity of fuel actually used for a qualifying use in the claim period.
