HCOBIG11100 – Non-Compliance: Policy approach


Introduction

By agreeing that premises may be ‘entered’, HMRC are simply making it legally possible for biofuel or fuel substitutes to be produced there in excess of the de minimis of 2,500 litres per annum.

HMRC are not issuing any form of approval, and in particular they are not approving or agreeing the process that the trader intends to carry out – it is the trader’s responsibility to make sure that they are paying the correct duty on any oil produced.

Remember the onus is on all ‘registered’ producers to prove their products meet the legal specification in order to qualify for the reduced rate of duty. The only way that this can be done is by having their finished fuel tested against the fuel specification.
