Where Can Gas Oil Be Used

Red Diesel laws changed in April 2022. According to HMRC the types of special vehicles that may use rebated diesel are:

• Vehicles designed to operate on a railway
• Agricultural vehicles
• Special vehicles
• Unlicensed, including SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) vehicles

But only when they’re being used for qualifying purposes, for example:

• for agriculture, horticulture, aquatic farming or forestry
• on land maintained by a community amateur sports club (CASC)
• on a golf course or driving range
• on land occupied by a travelling fair or travelling circus

Not all the qualifying purposes apply to all the vehicle types.

You should check that your vehicle, when being used for a particular purpose, is entitled to use rebated diesel.

Please Note : the use of red diesel in cars or other on-road vehicles is totally illegal as it is not taxed by HMRC at the higher duty level that legal road diesel attracts.
