Claiming GST on fuel

Learn how business use, valid tax invoices and vehicle records work together. · 6 min read

Business use matters

Only the business-use portion is relevant when fuel supports both business and private travel. Use a reasonable, supportable method for determining the percentage.

Check the receipt

Confirm that GST is included and retain the tax invoice or receipt. For GST-inclusive eligible fuel purchases, the GST component is generally one-eleventh of the price before applying business use.

Keep supporting records

Vehicle logs, platform statements, calendars and odometer records may help support the business-use calculation.
