We are currently experiencing delays in processing Fuel Duty relief claims of up to 3 months.
We are working to reduce this backlog and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
To apply to join the Industrial Relief Scheme, you can either:
- use the online 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 postal form, you’ll also need to fill in form H027 to apply for relief from excise duty on mineral (hydrocarbon) oil.
Email HMRC to ask for this form in Welsh (Cymraeg).
Before you start using the postal form
If you’re 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 gather all your information together before you start to fill it in.
