Which marine sales are eligible for the Subsidy?

All retail sales of motor spirit that you make in quantities up to 2,000 litres in a day (the retail quantity) are eligible for the Subsidy.
For diesel sales, a Subsidy is only payable for sales in a quantity up to 2000 litres in a day, delivered into the tank of recreational vessels that are registered with the Queensland Department of Transport as a recreational ship. All commercial diesel vessels such as fishing and charter boats are not eligible for the Subsidy.

How can I clarify that a customer is eligible?

A ship will be taken to be eligible if it is registered with the Queensland Department of Transport and the registration number is displayed and a current recreational ship registration label is attached to the vessel. The final symbol of the ship's registration number MUST be the letter 'Q.'

Required records to claim subsidy

To be eligible to claim a Subsidy for marine retail diesel sales, you must keep records for each sale including the vessel's recreational ship registration number.

If you do not keep these records, you may not be able to prove your entitlement to the Subsidy.
