Maverick Martin Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Hi Kim Long time no speak and good to hear from you, hope you are keeping well? Are you looking to come back here or just have a boat in Poole for your holidays? Re Diesel, next time I'm down the boat I'll look at my fuel log and give you the prices I am currently paying.

Maverick Martin Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Been down to the boat today and grabbed my latest receipt. Since you left we now have to declare and pay duty on fuel used for propulsion (bloody bitchy eu regs) HMRC have advised that they would accept a self declaration of 60% propulsion and 40% heating and battery charging although the onus is on the boat owner to declare what they see as appropriate for their craft. Most users declare on a 60/40 basis which I do most of the time. My last refuel was for 216.66 litres of diesel for £219.90 or £1.05 per litre, this price includes a discount given to those that berth at MDL (Cobbs) Marinas. Apparently the cost would have been £269.72 or £1.245 per litre without the MDL discount Hope that helps and look forward to meeting you again soon.

overdraft Posted June 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Thank you Martin, it gives me a better understanding of what's going on, what happens when we leave the EU ?? They always have to complicate things . What do you declare when not most of the time !!! Yes a little different than years gone by 33p a litre!!! best wishes & yes see you soon I hope .

plaicemat Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 No need to worry, when we eventually leave the EU it will probably go back to 33p a ltr. 😂 Terry. Jim, fisherman1055 and overdraft 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coddy Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Just don't go over the channel with Red diesel in the tank as you could get a hefty fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 The only continently country that got funny with english red diesel is Belgium. No reports of fines in other countries. You should always carry your latest fuel receipts to prove both when and where you got it. Best practice would be to fuel up with white diesel as soon as you hit port in say France and keep the receipt as proof that you are complying with their tax laws however do not take cans full of red with you as this is I believe frowned on.
