Impossible to administer

Proposed scheme: Purchaser/user liable for payment of duty on Avtur used for private pleasure flying
We have a fleet of aircraft, used for training and hire. On any given day, on one fill from the pumps, an aircraft can be used for:

Flight 1. Training flight for someone who wants a PPL purely for private/pleasure purposes.

Flight 2. Training flight for someone working towards a professional flying licence

Flight 3. Hire flight for someone taking colleagues to a business meeting, a private flight not pleasure, but strictly business. The cost of it will even be claimed against tax, quite legitimately.

How on EARTH could we possibly keep records reflecting the different tax we should pay on the fuel for each flight??????
