Duty-free diesel is exempt from excise duty and must only be used in tractors, motorised implements and the like.

What you must do

Contact the Tax Administration immediately.

We need the following information:

• the number plates of the vehicle
• time of accidental refuelling of duty-free diesel
• number of litres of accidentally refuelled duty-free diesel

You can either call us on 800 80 0000 or use the contact form. You must use the contact form to contact the Tax Administration outside opening hours.

What will happen once I have reported it?

The Tax Administration will charge duties on the number of litres filled.

The person who reports accidental refuelling of duty-free diesel will receive a decision that must be kept in the car. When inspected after 5 days, the fuel tank must not contain more than 3 percent marked (duty-free) diesel.

What happens if I do not report accidental refuelling?

If you do not report cases of accidental refuelling to the Tax Administration and the circumstance is discovered during an inspection, you will have to pay a fine. The fine is NOK 20,000 for cars. This also applies to other vehicles with a maximum permitted gross weight of under 3,500 kg. A higher tax is payable in the case of heavier motor vehicles.

Both the owner and the person using the vehicle are responsible for paying the fine, regardless of who actually refuelled with duty-free diesel.
