About

We are Catalyst Fuel Refunds, a company created to help Kiwi businesses claim their petrol excise duty refund.

We launched the company in June 2013 as a ‘catalyst for change’, seeing the need for someone to step in, take the bull by the horns and develop a system to support eligible petrol users to get back their hard-earned cash.

Achievements

  • In December 2014 we were announced the winners of the small-medium category of the HB Chamber of Commerce Business Awards which was a fantastic way to have all our hard work recognised.
  • In August 2015, we were in the top 10 of 424 applicants for the Westpac Business Growth Grant.

                                                                                

Quick Facts:

Over $63 million refunded

Catalyst started back in June 2013 and since then has refunded over $63 million dollars worth of refunds back to NZ businesses.  This is money that they have been able to use as they see best.  Either choosing to put it back into the business or to take a well earned break.

Over 80 million litres processed

Specialist team based in Hawke’s Bay

Starting with a small team back in 2013, we quickly grew too big for our premises in Havelock North and the Catalyst team are now based in Hastings.

Couldn’t have been simpler, two phone calls and a text… then a deposit in my bank.  
My accountant said it wasn’t worth it, but the refund nearly paid my accountants bill.

William Moylan / Sheep and Cropping

It’s money for jam really, we receive a phone call each quarter, email off our 3 statements and wait for the payment which is always super quick.
