re veg oil belive the same rules as bio there no tax to pay
If you produce less than 2500 litres per annum for personal use you will not need to register with HMRC and will not be liable to pay duty. (As a guide, 2,500 litres is enough to run two average family cars for a year.)
If you produce above that limit, you have to register with Customs and Excise and pay 32.35 pence to them for each litre of fuel you produce. (This is a 20 pence derogation from the fossil diesel duty). Guidance on eligibility and conditions can be found within HMRC Notice 179E - latest revision March 2008). We strongly recommend that you keep appropriate records and do not attempt to bypass this regulation in any way. Further details and specific advice regarding your situation can be found on the HMRC website

If we'd invested in alternatively fuels and energy sources 15 years ago when it was first raised then we wouldn't be so reliant on oil still
I am of the opinion though that we did do, well at least the oil companies did and are now keeping hold of it or waiting for the oil revenue to drop off before allowing us it.Quote:

These companies know full well that eventually it will cost more to extract oil than it is worth, they wont allow themselves to go under, they MUST have something under wraps to carry on robbing us of money.
The US and Canada have the largest gas and oil supplies in the world. At the moment it is economic for them to buy the oil from the middle east and South America at these relatively low prices. Once that starts to run dry and it becomes economically unviable to continue importing we will probably find that the US is the only place with any oil left in 20 years or so.
Something to think about...
Being the eternal optimist, I prefer to look at millenia of human ingenuity. Something will eventually take oil's place. It's just too cheap and plentiful at the moment to change it from being a 'desire' to an economic 'necessity'.
I know I sound like a 'broken record' (cd nowadays) but that is what capitalism is all about - profit before people.Quote:
