East Coast Sailing - News: "RED DIESEL AND THE BUDGET In the Budget on 21st March, the Government gave an assurance that it has no intention of making the use of red diesel unlawful outside UK territorial waters. The reassurance comes as a result of the meeting between the RYA, BMF and HMRC last month when revised wording for the declaration to be signed by yachtsmen purchasing red diesel was sorted out. Gus Lewis Head of Government Affairs said of the agreement: “The wording in the revised declaration is now clear that no change has been made to the ability of UK boaters to use red diesel when cruising or racing outside UK territorial waters. “UK fiscal law only applies within UK territorial waters and the UK laws covering the use of red diesel therefore also only apply in UK waters. In international waters, recreational boaters are not subject to any restrictions on the use of red diesel. “The revised declaration does, however, remind boaters that other coastal states may apply their own rules on the use of red diesel in recreational craft, which has been the case for many years. “Most coastal states, however, choose to apply the principle of ‘comity’ and do not apply their fiscal rules to visiting yachts.” "
