Change your fuel stocks now to get the maximum rebate for your assets
Red diesel fuel duty is changing. If you’re set to lose your red diesel entitlement, now is the best time to replace existing fuel stocks while the red diesel market is still strong. We can clean your tank and remove any remaining rebated fuel to ensure it’s compliant before 1st April 2022.
Current Government guidance suggests that as of March 2022, fuel suppliers will not be able to supply red diesel to customers whom it suspects will not burn the fuel before April 2022. Therefore businesses will see an increase of 45.81ppl in their fuel costs as they will be forced to switch from red diesel to DERV and pay the additional duty.
As the deadline approaches, we are seeing red diesel values fall by as much as 10% every month. Change your fuel stocks now to get the maximum return for your unusable assets.
We can buy back your fuel
We can collect and buy back your red diesel, giving you the opportunity to sell at the best possible price before rates plummet further.
We can handle all elements of tank safety to ensure your tank is compliant with all relevant standards, including:
- Fuel uplift of rebated stock & buyback rebated fuel
- Tank clean if required
- NDT tank inspection if over 10 years old
- HVO fuel supplied at competitive rates with excellent credit terms available
Why is red diesel duty being scrapped for a handful of sectors?
The UK government announced at Budget 2020 that it plans to remove the entitlement to use red diesel for many sectors from 1 April 2022. However, following the Coronavirus, the government took a slight U-turn at Budget 2021, and added several industries to the list that will continue to be permitted to use the rebated fuel.
Therefore, from April 2022, the entitlement to use red diesel and rebated fuels will be restricted to the following purposes:
- Commercial boating industry, including fishing and inland water freight industries and passenger ferries
- Non-commercial power generation, such as hospitals and off-the-grid households
- Agriculture, forestry, horticulture and fish farming
- Passenger, freight and maintenance vehicles that run on rail tracks
- Non-commercial heating, such as off-the-grid homes, places of worships and townhalls
- Travelling funfairs and circuses
- Amateur sports clubs, including golf courses
The change in fuel duty will also apply to biodiesel, biofuels and fuel substitutes used in heating, with the rebated duty rate applied to non-commercial heating.
If you break the restrictions on the use of rebated fuels, HMRC has the power to seize vehicles and other machinery.
