Hi,
Could anyone please tell me why there is not charity organisations
being setup selling BioFuels?
#1 As it being a charity this would stop the high taxes being sold
on the fuel as it is not profit making (yet for non commercial usage).
#2 Would allow commercial users of oils (e.g. Resturants etc) to be able
to donate their used oil FREE instead of heavy costs of waste removal
companies having to deal with it.
#3 This would allow a non commercial vehicle user to be able to purchase
a litre of biodiesel for around 5 to 10 pence per litre.
Many Thanks.

I am not sure that a body with such an aim would qualify for charitable
status.

Non-profit making does not mean tax-exempt. There are some situations in
which a charity can claim VAT exemption on things they buy but, if they were
selling road fuel, it would still be liabel to Excise duty and VAT.

It costs the guy I buy mine off about 12p/litre just to convert it.
I'm sure you'd still have to pay the duty...

Abo (Abo ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying:

Only if you convert >2500 litres per annum. Which is why it makes more
sense to do it individually...
