I hope you're planning on paying the appropriate duty to Customs & Excise, then.

It would be a big mileage to use their allowance


Revenue & Customs Brief 11/08

Issue of revised Public Notice 179E Biofuels and other fuel substitutes

In March, we will be publishing an updated version of Notice 179E: Biofuels and other fuel substitutes (http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageVAT_ShowContent&id=HMCE_CL_000205&propertyType=document) The revised notice will include the simplification measures effective from 30 June 2007, which were announced and described in Revenue & Customs Briefs 37/07 (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/briefs/excise-duty/brief3707.htm) and 43/07 (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/briefs/excise-duty/brief4307.htm). This brief summarises the simplification changes and provides guidance about the way the new registration threshold operates.
Producers, distributors and users of biofuels and/or fuel substitutes should check our website at www.hmrc.gov.uk for the latest edition of the notice and refer to the What’s new section for updates.
The main changes from last year’s simplification measures are summarised below as follows:
Exempt producers/users

If you have produced or used less than 2,500 litres of:

any biofuel
any other fuel substitute or additive within the last 12 months, and expect to produce or use less than 2,500 litres in the next 12 months, you are an exempt producer and do not need to register with us and account for duty.
Production includes the manufacture or processing of road fuel, and the setting aside of any product that has not been charged with duty – such as vegetable oil - with the intention of using it as road fuel.
Please note that producers of 2,500 litres or more are not entitled to an allowance of 2,500 litres before they start accounting for duty.

I've been buying 10 litre containers (plastic cube inside a cardboard box) of vegetable oil from my local Tesco Extra for just under a tenner each - so I don't think this is much of a bargain! OK, it doesn't say it's rapeseed oil, it says it's produced from genetically modified soya. The car hasn't grown three headlights yet though.

.......and I'm amazed there are still people who think you have to declare it to HMRC - the subject has been dealt with many times on this forum.
