The guidance notes published by HMRC on 6th October can be seen at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/briefs/excise-duty/brief4908.htm. This gives full details of how RDCOs have to account for the additiopnal duty, but it does not seem to have been widely circulated. As a member of Lichfield Cruising Club, selling red diesel to our members, we have not been officially notified, and only found this document by searching the HMRC website. One point of interest which we had to clarify with the VAT inspector was that as a non-VAT registered RDCO, we do not have to add VAT onto the additional duty to be paid - a rare bit of good news!
