QUESTION:
hello,
I am getting ready to set up a diesel truck to run on Vegetable Oil from a
local restaurant.
Normally I pay taxes at the pump for 'road use' and 'transit tax'
Do I have claim, register or do something because I am going to using
vegetable oil, and not paying the taxes, but still using the roadways.
In Europe, they are required to register with customs and excise, and
estimate the usage, and pay tax base on information submitted.

Congratulations, i saw the report about this on television about a year ago
and heard someone from Kelowna talking about it on a radio program a while
ago as well.
I went and looked (I am an amateur compared to you when it comes to
Computers) but could not find anything in BC or anywhere else in North
America dealing with the subject specifically as far as road tax was
concerned.
When I was going to the University of Manitoba an eternity ago, we ran a
Model A Ford with the gas produced from a decaying dead cat and I know we
paid no road tax on the original dead cat.
When propane conversions were popular at the start, there was no road tax on
propane and I do not think there is now.
The BC tax on diesel is 9 cents a litre with another 12 cents per litre for
the Greater Vancouver Translink tax -  You are in Abbotsford and I think you
escape the extra tax.
However, refined or clarified vegetable oil is not diesel.
Take a look at the following page and see if it applies to you
http://www.rev.gov.bc.ca/ctb/notices/GVTT_Notice_March2005.pdf
You can find the actual BC fuel tax return FIN427 at
http://www.rev.gov.bc.ca/ctb/forms/0427FILL.pdf
If you do collect or decide to pay the tax, you should get paid a
commission -- the commission form for fuel tax is at
http://www.rev.gov.bc.ca/CTB/forms/0376FILL.pdf#search='FTGTAX'
The following form deals with kerosene, jet fuel, diesel, and another dozen
related products but does not mention propane or vegetable oil.
Go for it and good luck.
