Further to my posting re fuel duty drawback, a couple of people have asked how
to get the forms for making the claim.
You can get the HO60 forms by writing to:
Mineral Oils Relief Centre,
Dobson House,
Regent Centre,
Newcastle,
NE3 3PF
or call the main HMCE Advice Centre and ask them to send you some HO60 forms(I
asked for 10). Their number is 0845 010 9000.
The forms are fairly self explanatory, but there a few boxes which may confuse.
These are designed to deduct fuel used or spilt after loading and whilst you're
still on a flight to a UK destination. You can only claim for fuel that you've
loaded which is to be consumed after your last point of departure from the
UK. ie if you load 70 litres in Manchester, burn 20 litres flying to Lydd, land
and clear customs at Lydd and fly to France, you can only claim for 70-20=50
litres. If you fly direct from Manchester to France then you can claim for all
70litres.
It's also worth pointing out to our continental friends that you too can claim
this relief if you visit the UK and buy our expensive fuel. The only problem may
be that HMCE will send you a cheque in UK which you may find hard to cash.
You can get round this (as I did for a friend who recently visited from France)
by having a UK person make the claim on your behalf (which they can do - there's
provision on the HO60 form for this), and then send you the cash in the post
later.
If you've got any questions about how to fill them in then feel free to give me
a call. Daytime: 01983 828124, evening 01983 756237. I'm only too happy to help
get money from the government feeding back into aviation!
There is some info on the HMCE website www.hmce.gov.uk and although you can
download many forms, when I last looked the HO60 wasn't one of them.
