Road user charges are pre-filled at $377 per 1,000 km excl. GST (about $434 incl. GST), the rate for a 3-axle truck over 18 tonnes (RUC type 6). Change this to the rate on your own RUC licence, add any trailer RUC, and enter 0 only if your truck does not pay RUC. Use finance payments or depreciation, not both, to avoid counting the truck's cost twice.
