Industry Case Studies

Mining

Our client claims approx $2m a month in fuel rebates. The further benefit (approx $3m over a 4 year period) identified by us related to a misunderstanding on the part of the client in relation to the eligibility of certain underground vehicles.

Civil Contractors

We have found that civil contractors have neglected to claim rebates for eligible activities. Furthermore we have successfully obtained large refunds for industry members in both on-road and off-road activities

Agriculture

Although most primary producers seem to be well organised when it comes to fuel rebates, it is sub-contractors to the industry who are not fully aware of their entitlements. As a result we have obtained benefits for sub-contractors involved in dam construction, fence building and other infrastructure projects.

Transport

A large national operator benefited by over $400,000. Prior to 30 June 2006, this client failed to claim for vehicles over 20 tonnes operating in the metropolitan area. It also neglected to claim for vehicles > 4.5 tonnes exiting and re-entering metropolitan boundaries.

Marine

Our client, a manufacturer of luxury vessels, was not aware that they were entitled to certain fuel rebates.

Rail Transport

Our client neglected to claim for fuel use in the activities of rail maintenance.

Local Government

We have obtained significant refunds for councils and local goverments since the inception of a fuel tax credit for plant machinery.

Medical

One of our clients conducting civil work at a hospital will obtain fuel credits in excess of $100,000.
