EX103 Doing my Head in !!!

[Bludger]

well wonders do happen got me
EX103 acceptance today
but it dont say how much duty i gotta pay when i send in my HO930 they gonna send me
well now what

I think the smart people at C&E think that because we are clever enough to realise that Vege is a cheap and renewable fuel alternative, we must also be clever enough to read their minds.

There is nothing on the EX103 acceptance or the HO930 to say which rate you will be on. Basically, if you are using Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) or Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) you have to pay the higher 47p rate.

If you are Transesterifying (is that a word?) your oil to produce Biodiesel, you pay the lower 27p rate. The reason for the lower rate was apparently to subsidise the higher cost of producing Biodiesel i.e buying Methanol & Caustic Soda as well as mixing tanks etc.

For reference, the HO930 form has an empty box at the bottom of the table which you should use when declaring your oil.

The code for SVO & WVO is: ORR 33545
The code for Biodiesel is: ORR 33589

Hope this helps
