How much Fuel Tax Credit is your fleet leaving on the table?
Most Australian fleets calculate FTC from receipts and estimates. Very few use measured fuel telemetry — and at scale, that gap is a silent, compounding margin loss.

- Defensible evidence chain
The problem
FTC isn't an accounting exercise. It's a data-integrity problem.
Fuel receipts show purchase. GPS shows movement. Neither shows actual fuel burn. When your FTC methodology relies on retrospective spreadsheets and manual assumptions, you carry two risks:
- Under-claiming — missing legitimate credits on idle and auxiliary loads.
- Methodology risk — weak defensibility if your claim is audited.
Without measured fuel telemetry, the variables that decide your claim are almost always guessed: idle fuel burn, high-draw auxiliary loads, urban vs highway duty cycles, and off-road segmentation by vehicle.
"Most fleets don't notice the leak. They accept 'close enough' — but close enough compounds into five-figure losses a year."

The shift
From estimated to measured.
Measured fuel data, captured directly from the engine, moves your reporting from estimation to evidence — high-resolution burn data segmented by idle, auxiliary load, duty cycle and off-road use, per vehicle.
- Recover credits you're currently rounding away.
- Replace assumptions with a defensible, timestamped evidence chain.
- Stand behind your methodology if the claim is ever reviewed.
ATO alignment pathways are in progress where applicable.

The brief breaks down where fleets lose recoverable credits, and how measured data turns a fragile estimate into a defensible claim.
