After the budget it's been confirmed, low users (under 2500L per 12 month period) will NOT have to register to pay fuel duty! After a lot of work, we've manged to make it cost them more to collect the tax than the tax they were collecting

vegetableoil diesel forum said:I sent an email the other day to Tony Baxter (Customs and excise) and asked him to tell me in plain terms if/when the new legislation (2,500 lts.) comes in and I go to the supermarket and buy some rapeseed oil and put it in my tank and mixed it with diesel would I have to pay any duty. Here was his reply.
Apologies for the slight delay
– I have been out of the office
for a couple of days.
To the answer the question, the change will mean that duty will not be payable on biofuels or other fuel substitutes or additives provided each producer does not produce more than 2,500 litres per year on a rolling 12-month basis. Rape seed oil not set out for sale as road fuel but bought for that purpose means the purchaser of the oil for road fuel use is a biofuel producer. There will be a public announcement shortly to this effect in the form of a Revenue & Customs Brief. We expect the change to take effect by the summer.
Regards
Tony Baxter
