Well done and thank you, especially as the amount of diesel that you use will probably not stop your boating. I want the 350,000 motor boaters in this country to make their voice heard, in government and RYA. I believe that we could still succeed in convincing government that tax revenue will fall from the marine sector and the RYA that their membership will decline amongst the power boaters if the full road tax rate is applied to red diesel.
The argument was used that we could not apply the EU minimum tax, as we were not allowed to charge a different rate for the same fuel. Now that HMRC has agreed that we can continue to use red diesel surely this argument no longer applies.
