Many transport and earthmoving businesses are – but the entitlement varies depending on how the fuel is used, what type of vehicle or machinery it’s used in, and whether the activity qualifies under ATO guidelines. Off-road use typically attracts a higher rate than on-road. Businesses often leave significant credits unclaimed simply because they haven’t reviewed their eligibility properly. We assess your operations and identify the full extent of your entitlement.
The right answer depends on your cash position, the cost and term of finance available, and what the equipment contributes to revenue. For capital-intensive businesses, preserving cash flow through financing often makes sense – but not if the financing cost erodes the margin the equipment generates. We model the numbers both ways so you’re making the decision on facts, not instinct.
Regularly – at least quarterly, and more frequently if you’re operating multiple vehicles or contracts with tight margins. Individual assets can quietly underperform while the overall business looks acceptable. Fleet-level profitability reviews help identify which assets are pulling their weight and which are due for replacement or redeployment.
This is heavily dependent on your asset ownership arrangements, personal risk exposure, growth plans, and succession intentions. Many operators benefit from separating asset ownership from operating entities, but the right approach varies significantly. It’s worth reviewing this before you acquire significant additional assets rather than trying to restructure afterwards.
