Amendments over use of red diesel on the Isle of Man
Mon, 21 Aug 2023
Clarification is being made in relation to the use of red diesel in the Isle of Man following changes made by the UK Government in April 2022.
These changes led to a “small number of unintended impacts identified following their implementation, which have now been addressed”.
Recent amendments now allow the use of red diesel in:
-
Machines or appliances used to generate electricity or provide heating primarily for non-commercial premises even if they also provide some of the electricity or heat to commercial premises;
-
Machinery and appliances for arboriculture purposes but not vehicles;
-
Tractors and geared machines owned by lifeboat charities used to launch and recover their lifeboats.
The clarifications will allow those working in affected sectors to use rebated fuels in the same machines and appliances as they did before April 2022.
