Six cents per litre funds ACC for injury cover on public roads. Local councils receive a small share of 0.66 cents per litre, and a portion of 0.72 cents per litre is allocated to the Petroleum or Engine Fuels Monitoring Levy (PEFML) for fuel quality monitoring and standards enforcement.
Who Can Claim Fuel Tax Credits?

How to Claim Fuel Tax Credits
You can DIY through NZTA if you’re up for it, but if it keeps slipping down your to-do list, it’s likely more cost effective to let us handle it. After 24 months, unclaimed quarters are lost, and NZTA charges a 10% penalty for late submissions. That makes our 15% commission a convenient and budget-friendly option.
