Whether you’re an independent builder or building company, commercial construction company or road contractor, your business is entitled to claim FTC on the use of its heavy vehicles on public roads and all equipment and vehicles used off-road.
Claims vary and are dependent on where you are working and what fuel type you are using.
In Australia, you are entitled to claim the maximum rebate for work off-road. However, there is an exception to this rule that applies to the construction industry given there are times when your work site or depot is located immediately beside or on a public road.
EROAD’s smart telematics software allows you to create a temporary ‘geofence’ or ‘buffer’ zone around a specific work area. This could include anything that may not typically be deemed an ‘off-road’ area – such as a construction site immediately adjacent to, or on, a public road - to deem it a temporary ‘off-road’ work area. This allows companies to then claim the maximum off-road FTC rebate for vehicles and equipment operating in these areas.
