How to get your FTC claims right, stay compliant, and save time

Fuel Tax Credits (FTCs) can make a real difference to your bottom line — but getting them right can be tricky without solid data and a clear process.

That’s where our system helps: it uses the fuel data you’ve already uploaded to take the guesswork (and the paperwork) out of FTC claims.

What are Fuel Tax Credits?

Fuel Tax Credits are refunds you can claim from the ATO for the fuel your business uses, depending on how and where it’s used. The rates vary based on things like vehicle type, usage, and location (on vs off public roads).

To claim correctly, you need accurate fuel data — and that’s exactly what the Nuonic platform helps you to manage.

How the system helps

Once you import your fuel data (like fuel card statements), the system:

  • Links fuel transactions to your assets and their usage

  • Applies the correct FTC rules and rates based on the time of fuel acquisition

  • Allows you specific the apportionment of fuel for eligible uses and activities in an easy-to-use manner

  • Generates clear and compliant FTC reports to support your regular BAS entries

It’s all based on real, original source data — so you’re not just saving time, you’re building solid evidence for audit purposes too. When your claims are reviewed, you'll have everything needed to respond in one place.

Why it matters

Accuracy: Claims are calculated using actual fuel spend, not estimates, with clear apportionment settings.
Compliance: Your reports are backed by detailed data and aligned with ATO rules and report format guidance
Efficiency: No more spreadsheets or manual reconciling — it’s all done for you

Whether you manage FTCs in-house or work with an accountant, having your data already sorted and ready makes everything smoother.
