Construction to lose red diesel rebate in 2022
From April 2022, red diesel will be available only to agriculture and the rail sector. Users of off-highway construction machinery will have to pay an extra 46.81 pence per litre for their diesel, paying the standard tax rate of 57.95 pence per litre rather than the subsidised red diesel rate of 11.14 pence per litre.
The chancellor made the announcement in his 2020 budget statement in the House of Commons.
