We run our fork trucks, heating and an industrial kiln on gas oil which is serviced by four bunded tanks.<BR>When we receive the invoices from our supplier., four invoices for four tanks.<BR>Two invoices are at 5% VAT and the other two are at the standard rate of 17.5%.<BR><BR>Even though some of our supply tanks have multi-functionality, i.e. supply our fork trucks and our heating and kiln systems' the invoices seem to be random as to weather 5% of 17.5% VAT is charged.<BR>We donâ??t have any facility to measure which uses which amount of fuel.<BR><BR>Can anyone see any sense in why the VAT rate seems to be random please?<BR><BR>Thanks<BR><BR>Paul T<BR>

    Hi paul,<BR><BR>Have you tried calling their accounts department as they should be able to tell you, if you have no luck there then I would suggest you call Customs and Excise as they WILL be able to help you. <BR><BR><BR>Dawn

    Seemingly the government introduced a scheme a couple of years ago whereby all deliveries of fuel oil less than 2300 litres would be @ VAT rate of 5% regardless of use. <BR>This seems to be in line with the fact that the maximum size of a domestic fuel oil tank used for heating is also 2300 litres.
