WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM

Deductions specific to earthmovers.

01

Plant — excavators, bobcats, graders

Major capital items, depreciate over effective life. Plant finance is common; interest deductible, principal depreciates the asset.

02

Off-road fuel — fuel tax credits

Diesel for plant is FTC-eligible at the off-road rate. Single biggest missed deduction in earthmoving operations.

03

Vehicle (heavy and light)

Heavy-vehicle on-road and light-vehicle work-use; both have FTC components depending on use.

04

Compulsory tickets — high-risk work

Yellow card for excavators/bobcats, EWP, asbestos awareness for older sites, WHS construction induction.

05

Plant maintenance and insurance

Annual servicing, machine-specific insurance, public liability — all recurring deductible expenses.

COMMON MISTAKES

What we see at audit.

MISS 01
Not claiming fuel tax credits

Off-road plant fuel is FTC-eligible. Earthmovers running multiple machines leave thousands a year on the table without proper FTC claiming.

MISS 02
Treating plant finance as immediate expense

Finance interest deductible immediately; principal depreciates the asset. Common confusion.
