You have to have a distiller's licence (also known as a rectifier's licence) and be able to demonstrate that you are a commercial producer intending, with some exceptions, to produce at least 3200 pints of the stuff. Licences are issued by the tax authorities, HMRC. As a producer you have to account for the tax payable on the booze and as this tax is an Excise Duty, failure to hold a license and hence to account for the tax falls under criminal law (unlike income tax which is a civil law responsibility).<br /><br /> That said, people have been known to get away with it.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42350.16&return_msg=42350.14" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42350.16"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42350_17"></a><div class="message" id="message_42350_17"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: AND HIS PROPHET IS (MOHAMED42)<span class="message_time">28 Apr 2019 06:22</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 28 Apr 2019 08:32"></span></span> <span class="message_count">17 of 18</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42350.17">42350.17</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42350.14#a42350_16" target="_self">42350.16</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Aye, it's the same here. Home distilling is pretty safe if you're not an idiot about it, so the laws are mostly for tax reasons. Of course it's not really strictly enforced, nor could it be -- anything you need to make a still is also used for regular home plumbing.
