Asda veg oil

I got a question about this veg oil stuffs, for example if i had a fuel station and i wanted to sell oil from a pump , would it have to have all the taxes on it like diesel and petrol? Or could i sell it at like £1 a litre what it is at supermarkets?

If you sell it as fuel for a road vehicle you've got to pay the appropriate taxes.

so if the seller is for there knowledge selling you it to use in a car you would need to pay taxes but if they dont know its just vat?

As it's a food stuff I don't think you even pay VAT.

Oh yeah i should know this ! so you couldnt sell it at a fuel station

Well you couldn't pump it straight into vehicles. Nothing to stop you selling it off the shelves. Mind you, if you've got a forecourt full of vehicles with their owners pouring it into their tanks you could probably expect a visit from HMRC who would assess you for back tax on everything you've ever sold.

i think you could?... but its "not for use as fuel"

Well your legally allowed to run a car on it but you can only have 2500ltrs per person per year, anything after that you have to pay duty on, but i doubt a garage would be allowed to put it on a pump

also - Prove i don't use it for say.......
