Correct. I can fill my car with (relatively) cheap diesel, hop on a ferry and drive around the UK and no-one can accuse me of smuggling but I cannot ask my pal to fill his van with jerry-cans of (cheapish) Irish diesel and bring them over to me on his next business trip.
Apparently if you pay the duty in it in NI to the UK Exchequer, then it is quite legal to load it into a van and drive it into Ireland and put it into your oil tank.
But you must do it yourself for your own use.

I suppose thats right.
After all, all those NI drivers who nipped over the border to RoI to fill their cars with cheap diesel weren't smuggling their fuel back into NI.
Same must apply to us if we buy NI home heating oil. We have bought it for our own use.
About 45c per L (NI) is about average these days I think.
So about 20% less maybe?
Before or after Vat?

27% saving then. Wish I was that little bit closer to the border....seantheman said:Kerosene 57c per ltr today in Donegal.
€570 vat inc. for 1000Ltr
Your quite right of course!More like 21% isn't it?
0.57 - 21% = 0.4503
