The Federal Government is making a renewed attempt to amend electricity and energy tax law following the failure of the 2024 draft. The amendments to energy tax law include, among other things, the introduction of a definition for designer fuels, the application of the reduced tax rate to vegetable oils, the extension of tax-exempt use of energy products in watercraft, the alignment of tax exemptions for gaseous energy products with EU requirements, and the introduction of new notification obligations for taxpayers. The law is scheduled to take effect on 1 January 2026.
