Hydrocarbon Oil Duty

EDM number 2215 in 2007-08, proposed by Colin Challen on 09/10/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Environmental protection, Oil, petrol and natural gas, Renewable energy, Taxation and Waste management.

That this House acknowledges the contribution that the waste oil recycling industry makes to the recovery of hazardous waste oil from the waste stream; welcomes the investment and innovation undertaken to convert hazardous waste oil into reusable product; further welcomes the fact that this product helps cut emissions, diverts waste oil from landfill, and conserves natural resources; notes with concern the effect that the proposed application of hydrocarbon oil duty at a rate of 9.29 pence per litre (equivalent to £105 per 1,000 kilograms) on this product from 1st November 2008 will have on the collection and reprocessing of waste fuel oil; and calls on the Government to review its decision not to apply the minimum rate of duty of 15 euros per 1,000 kilograms (broadly equivalent to £11.50 per 1,000 kilograms) on the use of waste fuel oil permitted by the Energy Products Directive.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
