Nuonic connects to your V-DAQ account and turns the trip data your units already record into an accurate monthly Fuel Tax Credit claim. Nothing new to install, nothing for drivers to do differently.
Fuel Tax Credits are a rebate from the ATO on the excise built into every litre of diesel you buy. If you run commercial vehicles or plant, you are almost certainly entitled to some of it, and you claim it through your BAS.
The rate depends on where the fuel was burned. Diesel used on public roads attracts a lower rate. Diesel used off public roads, on private access tracks, work sites, farms, quarries, depots and roads closed to the public, attracts a much higher one. In the current rate period the two sit more than 30 cents a litre apart, so the split between them has to be right.
Working that split out properly is a spatial analysis problem. Most operators solve it with an estimated percentage in a spreadsheet, which is a number nobody can really stand behind. Claim too little and you are out of pocket. Claim too much and the exposure is yours if the ATO asks. Nuonic removes the estimate by checking every recorded position against continuously updated national road mapping.
Trusted by hundreds of leading fleet and equipment operators, Nuonic has processed more than $700 million in fuel spend, analysed over 60million vehicle trips, and saved over 400,000 hours for Australian heavy and light vehicle operators.
Not every fleet has enough off-public-road work to make this worth doing. If yours does not, we will say so.
Fuel tax credit rates are set by the ATO and are indexed twice a year. Confirm current rates against ATO tables at the time you lodge.
Accurate claims, produced automatically each month, with the evidence behind every number.
Every recorded position from your V-DAQ units is checked against continuously updated national roadmapping to work out whether that fuel was burned on a public road or off one. Not a sampled route, not an estimated percentage across the fleet, the actual path each vehicle took. Custom and temporary geofences handle work sites and roads closed to the public.
Fuel statements are read and categorised automatically, and your V-DAQ data flows across without anyone touching a spreadsheet. Reports land at the start of each month, well ahead of your BAS, so whoever lodges it has time to review the numbers rather than assembling them at the deadline.
Every figure traces back tothe trip that produced it. If the ATO asks how you arrived at a number, you can show them the vehicle, the date, the route and the mapping decision behind it. Nuonic operates under ATO Class Ruling CR 2023/50 for applicable devices, and keeps full report history and edit logs.
Rates are indexed twice a year and have moved sharply in recent periods. Nuonic applies the correct rate to every transaction automatically, including where a rate change lands mid-month, and keeps pace with changes to road classifications, infrastructure and vehicle technology. Nothing to track, nothing to update at your end.
Pumps, tippers, refrigeration units, augers and other PTO-driven gear burn fuel that attracts the higher rate, and it is one of the most commonly missed parts of a claim. Nuonic captures auxiliary use through ATO Safe Harbour provisions, live events from your tracking system, or a fixed percentage, whichever suits how you operate.
Claims run on the V-DAQ devices already in your vehicles. Nothing to install, nothing for drivers to do differently. If you are already enrolled in RIM, TMA or Smart OBM, the certified GPS data you carry for road access is the same data that produces the claim.
