Why do we have Red Diesel for leisure craft in the first place? I drive my diesel car for fun and don't get a reduction in fuel tax why would I because I chose to own a boat for fun? I understand that nobody likes things to get more expensive but what is the justification for cheap diesel for leisure boats
We surely don't believe that people who choose to own a multi thousand pound cruiser can't afford to fuel it at the same level of taxation that I have to pay for my car fuel? Or is this not about who can afford to pay? Supporting the leisure boat industry is surely not a valid argument as boating holidays are already one of the most expensive holiday options you can take in the UK, and why is that? Take a look at the expenses that aren't covered in a typical Broads holiday and the asking price for 20 plus year old cruisers, I have trouble believing the hire boat companies aren't making enough.
This really isn't a troll, I just don't understand why Red Diesel!
