> HMRC say you (the boater) dont need to keep records Which brings us back to the difficulty of gathering together all the records for each person/boat from around the country. When people like me own shares in a boat, and all the other 10 owners put fuel in from a wide range of suppliers, I couldn't point HMRC to any particular place or places for them to follow up any 'audit' check they may wish to make. I still believe that all the checks and procedures points to 'self-policing' and that HMRC have little interest in waving down boats just to dip their tanks. And they're only interested in general compliance, not whether you used 60% for propulsion, or 59%, or even 50%; the fact that you have declared a split (any split) is OK by them. The only area where you can have a problem is when you habitually declare zero percent and they never find your boat on your moorings. DaveD [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
