Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 18:53 Post subject: Bio diesel duty |
|
|
Ive been looking into running my 3.1 on bio, the trouble is, i totally depend on the troop and if the bio caused reliability issues i could loose more money that i would ever gain
I contacted a bio fuel wholsaler and what i have found out is that there is two levels of duty as with diesel 1) highway use @105ppl (approx) 2) Off road use @85ppl (approx).
So i asked if the non/low duty bio was died red like mineral diesel, answer - "no there is no difference in the fuel, comes out of the same pump"
So i asked if i bought 25l of duty paid and 25l of non duty paid (for my generator of course ) and i put the wrong can in my troop could i get done? answer "as long as you can show a reciept of duty paid bio there is no way testing can prove otherwise"
If i had more time and less depend'nt on my troop (no buses where i live) i might have gone down the bio route _________________ 2011 3.0l Hilux Invincible

So if you make it yourself you can make 2500L before you pay tax and tax for road use is 20p a litre more than for agri use
Ask the guy if you can push the button on the machine so you dont pay any tax _________________ |

Was speaking to my brother about this earlier (he mentioned that the 2500 litre thing was him !?!), but
The 2500L - (now 10000??) is road duty free, it's not vat free.
VAT on bio is charged at 8%, so, if you want to go to the tax man and pay your dues you need to give 8% of the initial purchase price of the SVO over. This is a bit of a minefield if you try and claim SVO back on business since you might end up owing the tax man a few £££'s.
Best thing to do is err.....
Of course keep a very close track of all purchases and all recips for oil so that the tax man has a fully auditable account of purchases made and can charge at the correct rate and amount. _________________ For great insurance deals on 4x4s, imports and more, contact Adrian Flux :

this is the wrong advice so please take no notice of what i am about to right. and i oviously dont condone this type of action and would never do such a thing my self but.................................................work out what miles to the gallon you are doing. how many litres of diesel a year baced on your milage. work out how many litres of this would be diesel to keep the amount of bio under the duty level. get frendly with someone that works in a petrol garage and then over the year get reseats from them for diesal that you never had. run bio 100% of the time clame back the vat on the bio @8%. produce the reseats for the diesal you never had and clame the vat on that, dont diclair 50% of the bio as the diesel reseats will cover this. now and again put neat diesal in the tank incase they dip it.
if you get court you will go to prisson for fraud but that is a way around it.
2 clocks in your motor is another _________________ presumption is the mother of all f**kups |

Funny thing is that when I fill up on bio or diesel for that matter, I never ask for a reciept, and it isnt a legal requirment to do so.
So if i did get dipped when running on bio all I can do is say where I got it from (orange pump at thyne st service station)
Its right next to normal diesel and unleaded _________________ |

tax man dont always win mate. trust me. you have to prove somthing for it to stand up in court
what marky is saying is right. difficalt to prove mate but i dont recomend anyone doing it
the best way around any tax is to get an x sival survant to do your books. they are priceless and can dissapear anything _________________ presumption is the mother of all f**kups |

like i said, i would not and am not doing any of the above. run my motor on diesel only the police have got better things to do down hear mate my other halfs family are all coppers
all i was saying is with a bit of thought you cant get arount anything but at no point was i sugesting that it would be a good idear or even that it works. just exercising my freedom of speech in a public forum mate
dont tell m you have never thought inercently about ways round paying un just amounts of money to the govenment? with the amount that things cost hear,i think it goes through lots of peoples minds _________________ presumption is the mother of all f**kups |
