HOW IT WORKS

All petrol sold in New Zealand contains a tax which is known as excise duty and is designed to help fund the costs of the road network. This tax is administered by the NZ Transport Agency.

When this petrol is used by your business to operate vehicles or machinery off the public road, the excise duty can be claimed back. However, many business owners don’t know this – or the complicated claim process makes it not worth the hassle.
That’s where the team at PRC Petrol Refund Claims comes in.

The current excise rate is 76 cents per litre +GST. You can claim back up to two years’ worth of use and then claim ongoing every quarter after that.  

The excise rate changes periodically and increased from 72 cents on 1 July 2020. Claims are paid at the excise rate for the period the fuel was purchased, not the current rate, so historic claims will use different excise rates than today’s 76 cents +GST amount.

Remember, every time you fill up your tank or jerry can the Government could owe you money and PRC can help you get it back quickly and easily.
