Biofuels

The current 20 pence per litre (ppl) duty differential for biodiesel and bioethanol will cease from 1 April 2010 and duty will in future be charged at the same rate as main road fuels. As previously announced main road fuels will increase on 1 April from 2010 to 2013 by 1ppl above indexation in each year.

A relief scheme is to be introduced so that producers can continue to benefit from a 20 ppl differential in relation to biodiesel produced only from waste cooking oil. The scheme which will last for two years will allow producers to offset an allowance of 20 ppl against the duty that is payable.
