Fuel Claim Review & Opportunity Assessment

We assess current and historical fuel tax credit claims to identify underclaimed or missed entitlements and flag areas for correction or improvement.

BTG recently performed a thorough indirect tax review of the Group’s past 4 years of supplier payments. This involved a vast quantity of work, which the BTG team completed in good time and to a high quality. BTG’s expertise in this area meant their feedback was well-informed and their process improvements will benefit the Group. Overall, the service provided by BTG represented fantastic value for money and I would recommend them to any organisation who wants to understand how much unclaimed GST they can recover.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fuel Tax Credit Review Services in Australia

Fuel Tax Credits (FTCs) provide a credit for the fuel tax (excise or customs duty) included in the price of fuel used in business operations. This can include fuel used in machinery, equipment, heavy vehicles, and off-road activity. They’re a long-standing entitlement, but many businesses are underclaiming or missing out entirely due to complex rules and changes in eligibility over time.

Any business that uses fuel in eligible activities may be entitled to claim FTCs. Common examples include:

  • Off-road use in machinery or equipment
  • Use of fuel in auxiliary functions (e.g., concrete mixers, waste compactors)
  • Idling and power take-off (PTO) use
  • Fuel used in heavy vehicles not traveling exclusively on public roads

Eligibility depends on how the fuel is used, not just the industry. 

And if your business also imports goods or equipment, customs duty reviews can help identify savings opportunities in your international supply chain.

In most cases, the ATO allows retrospective claims for up to four years from the date you lodged the original BAS. BTGI conducts a full historical review to ensure any eligible underclaimed amounts are identified and recovered within the allowable timeframe. 

We also assist with GST recovery to ensure that indirect tax credits are correctly claimed and reported.

BTGI’s process is simple, fast, and fully managed. We:

  • Review your historical claims and BAS data
  • Analyse fuel use across operations
  • Identify missed entitlements and correct claim rates
  • Prepare a detailed report and assist with amending previous returns

You’ll have minimal input required — we handle the heavy lifting.

Yes. All of our reviews follow ATO guidelines and use documented, defensible methodologies. Our team includes former ATO auditors who ensure accuracy, traceability, and compliance at every step of the process.

There are no upfront fees. Our service is success-based — you only pay if we identify and recover missed credits. This makes the process low-risk and cashflow-friendly.

Not at all. Our review works in parallel with your existing BAS preparation and accounting systems. We simply review what’s already been submitted and identify where additional entitlements can be recovered.

Absolutely. In addition to recovering past entitlements, we can help you set up robust, ATO-compliant systems for future fuel tax credit claims, ensuring ongoing accuracy and maximisation of your entitlements. 

For businesses with overseas operations or international transactions, we also offer global VAT recovery services to help reclaim VAT paid abroad.
