Think your accountant is already claiming your petrol tax refund? Think again. Many businesses assume their refund is covered in regular tax returns, but petrol excise duty is a separate claim made through NZTA — not the IRD.
Common Misconceptions:
✅ Claimed through tax return → ❌ Wrong. Excise refunds are not part of income or GST returns.
✅ Accountants handle all fuel-related claims → ❌ Not usually. Most don’t include NZTA-specific refund processes.
How Is Petrol Refund Different?
Petrol excise is claimed independently. It requires:
Machinery/equipment lists
Signed declarations
Fuel receipts or invoice data
