Run on Red: A gripping thriller with a killer twist

Product Information

You can use rebated fuel to generate electricity and heat for the premises, even if commercial contractors work there, provided they contribute to the running of your service.

Kerosene is a heating fuel and the excise duty on it is fully rebated (reducing the excise duty to nil). For this reason, it is illegal to use kerosene in any vehicle or to mix it with road fuels unless you have a permit from us allowing you to do so. Activities we accept as falling within the definition of agriculture, horticulture or forestry include:

the breeding, rearing or keeping of any creature solely for purposes relating to sport or recreation. transporting produce from where it’s harvested, or from temporary storage, to where it’s to be sold, processed or otherwise disposed of A house, building or other structure, together with its land and outbuildings. Premises can also include any land, means of transport or mobile premises that are being used for carrying on a business or for private use. 7.15 ‘Commercial purposes’ A machine or appliance is liable to seizure and financial sanction, if it is found containing rebated fuel that should not be in it. 5. Vessels and so on premises used to deliver central and local government functions or acts of public administration, for example, NHS hospitals, state schools, town halls, public libraries

The Finance Act 1994 contains the appeal and review procedures for challenging the following excise decisions: Growing or harvesting crops, including cereals, combinable crops, roots, tubers, vegetables, pulses, fruit, nuts, grasses, oilseeds and fungi for food, beverages, fodder, fuel or industrial purposes or the upkeep of agricultural land such as set-aside under environmental management schemes. Difficulties arise in relation to vehicles or machines which are used for both ‘allowed’ and ‘non-allowed’ purposes after the rules change. If white diesel is not used for all purposes, the tank will have to be flushed out to remove all traces of rebated fuel when switching uses. Particular care will need to be taken with hired equipment. Any drainage work or flood and coastal erosion management activities with no agricultural benefit to the land, are not agricultural purposes, even if the work takes place on agricultural land. Working on utilities and infrastructure on or crossing agricultural land

Q. Is there a limit on the distance I can travel with my grain to a mill? Does the same rule apply when delivering your straw to other farms or stables and your own-bagged potatoes to shops? Therefore, it is vital that, if switching between allowed and non-allowed uses, you thoroughly drain the tank then flush it out with white diesel to remove all traces of red. Some vintage tractors (in production before 1960) and cars (in production before 1956) need to run on a mixture of kerosene and petrol. If you work somewhere that is not a garden, such as playing fields, a livery yard, stables, at the side of the road, on someone’s private land, then this is not horticulture and, the vehicle or machine you use is not an ‘excepted’ machine’.

There may be situations where individuals or business, whose use of vehicles or machinery is essential, cannot get or use full duty-paid (white) diesel, but can get or use red diesel. clearing the road after agricultural, horticultural or forestry operations, or cutting hedges and verges A kerosene heating system is an excepted machine when it is being used to generate heat for any premises.

Specific details on the acceptable uses of each type of vehicle are given in section 3. 2.3 Vessels A.As long as it isn’t taxed and never goes on the road there is no problem fuelling a farm 4×4 with red diesel.

has a vehicle or machinery that may be allowed to use rebated diesel, biodiesel, hydrotreated vegetable oil or kerosene breeding or rearing of any creature kept for the production of food, wool, skin or for the purpose of its use in the farming of land Changes to this regime were announced by the UK government during Budget 2020 as part of the drive to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Instead, it centres on “allowed” purposes using “allowed” vehicles and machines – two key factors that it is worth getting to grips with. Put simply, it means that a lot of non-agricultural industries are losing the use of red, including for off-road use. Run down your red diesel efficiently by first making sure you have a precise measurement of how much you have left in storage. Next, draft up a timeline of usage to predict when you would run out, and make a plan for integrating alternative fuel replacements at the right time to ensure there will be no interruption to your operations.
