Farmers and hauliers offer different solutions to agri diesel regulation
The Irish Road Haulage Association has joined with Retail Ireland and other industry groups to ask the Government to equalise fuel duty on agri diesel via a rebate scheme for legitimate users.
The association’s president, Eoin Gavin, said the exchequer is losing hundreds of millions of euro annually due to agri-diesel dyeing costs, tax-evasive laundered fuel and Irish hauliers filling their tanks in France, Belgium and other EU countries where rebate systems are in place for legitimate diesel users.
