veg oil
muddyjames:
I am keeping a chart of how much I buy/ spend/ saved against diesel / total saving and count down to when I break even with the kit. Mainly for me really as I am interested in exactly how much I do save.

I know a guy called John who was running a van on red when they caught him they made him pay the back tax on the fuel based on 12000 miles a year @25 miles to the gallon for the time he'ed owed the van ...
7 years :shock: :shock: :shock:
3360 gallons :shock: :shock: :shock:
That was the fine then they squashed the van :shock: :shock: :shock:

I have been told I need to keep all reciepts though of the veg oil I buy to prove I havent used more than 2500L. Anyone know if this is true?

Yes, you do need to keep records of your veg use, just in case HMRC ask to see them, although as mentioned by others, you do not need to register with HMRC if you are going to use less that 2,500 litres per year

With Veg oil, the onus is on you to prove what you are or more to the point, what you aren't using. If you keep receipts and they roughly match the mileage that you do then you are ok (don't forget, mileage is recorded on the MOT ticket) But if the figures don't add up and you can't explain then it will cost you plenty. HMRC will assume everything is owed to them, it is up to you to prove it isn't
