Do you have to pay tax on recycled vegetable oil for fuel? (UK)?
onlyme asked:
Realize that you have to pay tax (VAT) on vegetable oil that you intend to use as fuel – which is quite properly. As I don 't think its fair that you have to pay a tax on vegetable oil that you bought as a food (VAT) as food and then recycled through using it as fuel to save on oil residue? The law states that you must pay the tax on vegetable oil if it is recycled or not? In an effort to help the environment would have thought that the government do more. I don 't get taxed when I walked to work rather than drive electric cars and don' t get it taxed one or the other

As well as VAT on the oil you have to pay Fuel Duty on the finished product!
(Most people don’t bother!)
