Use of diesel in private pleasure craft

HMRC is consulting on how it intends to comply with the decision of the Court of Justice of the EC in European Commission v UK (C-503/17) requiring private pleasure craft to use duty-paid white diesel for propulsion, removing the option to use rebated red diesel.

The government has not yet decided on an implementation date. The responses will help determine whether a period will be required for suppliers, known as registered dealers in controlled oils, and users of diesel fuel, to adapt to using only white diesel and, if needed, its duration.

Comments should be emailed to gary.satchell@hmrc.gov.uk by 9 September.
