No duty on marine diesel

THE Treasury and Resources Department is concerned that it has been wrongly accused of damaging the island’s fishing industry.
Deputy minister Jonathan Le Tocq said there was no truth in the allegation that a ‘fuel hike’ was ‘crippling the industry’. There is no duty imposed on marine diesel, which is used by the vast majority of the island’s fishing fleet.
‘Marine fuel duty was a big issue in the middle of last year and I’m surprised that people can forget the duty position so quickly,’ said Deputy Le Tocq.
