## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations correct minor errors in the Biofuels and Other Fuel Substitutes (Payment of Excise Duties etc) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/2065) (“the 2004 Regulations”) that occurred when that instrument was amended by S.I. 2007/1640. These Regulations also correct minor errors in the Hydrocarbon Oil Duties (Reliefs for Electricity Generation) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/3320) (“the 2005 Regulations”).
Regulation 2 introduces the corrections to the 2004 Regulations.
Regulation 3 amends regulation 19(4) and 6(a) of the 2004 Regulations so that they now refer to regulation 19(1A) of the 2004 Regulations.
Regulation 4(2) corrects a typographical error in regulation 19A(2) of the 2004 Regulations. Regulation 4(3) substitutes a new regulation 19A(5). By virtue of that amendment the requirements of regulations 19(7) and 19(8), which apply to all producers of biofuels, are no longer made to apply specifically to large biofuel producers. In addition the text of regulation 19(4) is amended in its application to large biofuel producers to reflect the frequency with which they are required to furnish returns and make duty payments.
Regulation 5 makes corrections, for the sake of internal consistency, to the 2005 Regulations.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
