No you can't!
You can use it to reduce the amount of tax you pay on profits - always assuming you actually make a profit!
But get it all back? No chance!

Exactly fuel costs will come off any tax liability, if you havent made a profit you can carry the losses over to the next year, if you keep making a loss then your in the wrong business
That’s come through my turbines a Brianne, funny shade of brown up there...
That's just peat- hopefully

I though that the cost of fuel & the fuel duty cost were classed as a running cost for a business.NOPE
VAT can be reclaimed but not fuel duty except in some exceptional cases.
Commercial fishermen and other commercial boat users can claim back fuel duty from petrol used at sea - they buy at normal pump rate and can reclaim the VAT and Fuel duty - so they are buying petrol for about 50p per litre

Yes , Peter the window cleaner has a couple of IBC's in his garage being filled with de-ionised water from his de-ioniser machine24/7 , he decants from them into six 25 litre plastic cans & puts them in the back of his van . Then decants into the small battery operated pumping tank on wheels to feed the cleaning lance & brush . After the first or second clean with purely de- ionised water & nothing else the grease is gone and so is all the muck .
Then once a month he gives them another clean .. they dry in about five minutes to a streak & spot free finish for at least two hours ....... till a bloody big truck comes haring down the hill kicking up dust & / or salt from road gritters.

We think our local supply tastes absolutely vile, so it seems does our cat , he won't touch it , prefers to drink out of puddles outside instead .
The taste reminds me of touching my tongue on a galvanized bucket lip

Re:-
Using tap water for battery topping up .. Locally ours has some iron salts in it .....as evidenced by a " tea stain " in the kettle .
The battery electrolyte will have to over come this iron content and therefore it will affect the quality of the electrolyte altering the specific gravity and the chemical content & eventually this will affect the battery itself .
In most cases it would not be noticed but in some vital things it will , like the really heavy duty submarine's running batteries & the old lead acid back up systems for gas alarms , fire warning alarms it could be fatal , as well as producing some dangerous gases whilst being recharged

How old is your kettle though?

Been down the father in laws to look at his recently installed solar PV set up, 4kw with battery storage
Been up fro 7 mths, obviously mainly winter and already it has made 1948kwh and I am sure as the weather improves it is going to do very well.
Am seriously thinking of fitting the same kit he has which can be had for 5.6k if I diy fit.

Quite impressive but still 7 year to break even at 23p per kw/h
I don't have such a problem with domestic installs like this - what gets me are the subsidises companies are getting to cover prime agricultural land with them.
Commercial gas power stations get about 4p per kw/h. Based on that it would take over 40 years for payback. Solar farms wouldn't exist without subsidies and that is why our electric prices are going through the roof.

When we head away to car shows in england, we always take a supply of welsh water for the teas
Do you have a poison's licence for that and the waste transfer & carriers permits too ?

Off grid kits on ebay, some quite largeI am possibly going to install them at my Dad's old house in The Algarve.
Spot the difference. Taken late October. Serious drought conditions. Not a blade of grass. Bare earth like Mars

It's a lot more complicated than that . What I say is only a very minor part ofit all.
The price increase is to fund the change over from hundreds of years more of heavily polluting generation to what is hoped to be far less polluting level of generating our electricity . As well as effectively distributing the supply from as many different sources as possible so we never ever get caught out by foreign players hiking the price up when they feel like it or cutting off the supply like Putin seems to be doing or be at the mercy of striking trade unionists as has frequently happened in the past & at present times .
