Details
You can either:
- use the online form service
- fill in the form on-screen, print and post it to HMRC
To use the online service, you need a Government Gateway user ID and password. If you do not have a user ID, you can create one when you use the service.
If you use the online form, you’ll get a reference number that you can use to track the progress of your form.
Email HMRC to ask for this form in Welsh (Cymraeg).
Information you’ll need to support your online application
Make sure you also submit a business plan to support your application. When you submit the online form you will be given a unique reference number – make sure you include this with the business plan. Further information can be found in Excise Notice 192: registered dealers in controlled oil.
You can submit the business plan by email or post to the Mineral oils relief centre.
Before you start using the postal form
If you are using an older browser, such as Internet Explorer 8, you’ll need to update it or use a different browser. Find out more about browsers.
You’ll need to fill in the form fully before you can print it. You cannot save a partly completed form so we suggest you gather all your information together before you begin to fill it in.
