Fuels: Excise Duties
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of enabling cemeteries and crematoria to continue using rebated fuel.
- Answer
-
Following consultation in 2020, the Chancellor confirmed at Spring Budget 2021 that the Government would remove the entitlement to use red diesel from most sectors from April 2022. This more fairly reflects the negative environmental impact of the emissions produced and helps to ensure that the tax system incentivises the development and adoption of greener alternative technologies.
The Government did not believe that the cases made by sectors that will not retain their red diesel entitlement outweighed the need to ensure fairness between the different users of diesel fuels and the Government’s environmental objectives.
