HMRC is consulting on reforms
to the tax treatment of red diesel and other rebated fuels – particularly
to consider whether other sectors should be allowed to continue to use red
diesel. At Budget 2020, the government announced that it would remove the
entitlement to use red diesel from April 2022, except for agriculture, rail and
non-commercial heating. Most businesses across the UK using red diesel will
need to use fuel taxed at the standard rate from April 2022.
This latest consultation looks at whether there are any
exceptional reasons why other sectors should be allowed to continue to use red
diesel beyond April 2022 and also seeks further information about the current
end-uses of other rebated fuels such as non-aviation kerosene and fuel oil. The
consultation closes on 1 October 2020.
