Changes to the Red Diesel Duty
DERV and red diesel have similar properties, so it’s important to understand the tax differences when choosing fuel.
The government duty tax applies to DERV fuel at a rate of 57.95 per litre, while red diesel, a rebated fuel, has a much lower tax rate of 5% for volumes below 2300 litres and 20% for higher volumes.
The rules for using red diesel have changed, and it’s now illegal to use it in road-going vehicles.
