After regulation 8, insert:

8A Rebate for exported fuel

(1)

A person is entitled to an RFT rebate if the person applies for the rebate in accordance with section 65ZC of the Act and satisfies the Agency that—

(a)

the person was supplied with a quantity of fuel in an RFT region in the period beginning on the start date of the RFT scheme that applies in that RFT region and ending on the end date of that RFT scheme; and

an RF taxpayer has paid or is liable to pay regional fuel tax on that fuel; and

(c)

the person has exported the fuel for on-sale by the person—

(i)

outside New Zealand; or

(ii)

on an island that is a part of New Zealand but that is not part of the RFT region in which the fuel was supplied.

(2)

In this regulation, exported the fuel for on-sale means the fuel has been shipped to a point outside New Zealand, or shipped to an island of New Zealand, where it is intended to be on-sold.

(3)

The following evidence must ordinarily be provided to satisfy the Agency of the matters set out in subclause (1)(a) to (c):

(a)

a copy of an invoice or a receipt for the fuel showing—

(i)

the name of the supplier of the fuel:

(ii)

the location or address where the fuel was supplied:

(iii)

the amount of fuel supplied:

(iv)

the date of the supply:

(v)

the price of the fuel; and

(b)

a statement from the RF taxpayer who has paid or is liable to pay the regional fuel tax that sets out—

(i)

the details in paragraph (a); and

(ii)

the total amount of regional fuel tax paid or to be paid; and

(c)

an invoice, a receipt, or any other documentary evidence, if it is available, proving that the fuel was supplied to the person who has exported it for on-sale, or, in a case where such evidence is not available, a statement by the person that the fuel was supplied to the person; and

(d)

evidence that the fuel has been exported for on-sale, such as,—

(i)

in the case of fuel exported for on-sale outside New Zealand, a ship manifest or bill of lading; or

(ii)

in the case of fuel exported for on-sale on an island that is part of New Zealand, delivery or loading documents; and

(e)

any other evidence or information that the Agency reasonably requires.

(4)

The Agency may accept any other evidence that satisfies it of the matters set out in subclause (1)(a) to (c).

(5)

The amount of an RFT rebate under this regulation is calculated in accordance with the following formula:

ExportedLitres × RFTRate

where—

ExportedLitres: is the fuel amount in litres that the Agency is satisfied was purchased by the person and has been exported for on-sale
RFTRate: is the rate per litre of regional fuel tax under the relevant RFT scheme on the date that the fuel was supplied to the person.
