You can thank the EU for that … HMG succumbed to years of pressure for tax harmonisation on use of red diesel in boats back in 2013. It had not wanted to make the change and resisted earlier ‘requests’ from Brussels.
If they had continued to hold out, your duty exemption would be about to end now anyway. Red diesel is to be almost entirely banned on environmental grounds.
