Through the CCL claiming process, they will guide you through everything. We handle all administrative tasks to make sure nothing is overlooked.
The Climate Change Levy (CCL) is a UK initiative that taxes energy supplies to incentivise lower carbon emissions. However, certain energy-intensive industries can qualify for CCL tax relief, mitigating these costs while promoting energy efficiency. The rate of tax relief your business could receive - either 5% or 20% - depends on the type of fuel you use and your specific operational context.
Transport businesses utilising low-carbon fuels, as well as mineralogical and metallurgical companies participating in the Climate Change Agreement (CCA) scheme, are potential candidates for CCL tax relief.

As of April 1, 2020, the main charge is 0.811 pence per kWh for electricity and 0.406 pence per kWh for gas. Your energy provider will calculate the CCL and include it as a separate item on your bill, which will then be forwarded to HMRC.
Taxation has a role to play in encouraging sustainable behaviour and reducing carbon footprints. Our specialised Energy Tax team offers comprehensive consultation services to ensure that you capitalize on available CCL relief options. We manage the administrative aspects of the claiming process to ensure thorough compliance.
Given the UK's ambitious net-zero targets for 2050, it remains to be seen how future budgets will modify the CCL and other levies. Our team remains vigilant and adaptive to these changes, offering you timely and effective advice.
Qualified businesses can also save on Feed-in Tariff (FIT), Renewables Obligation (RO), and Contract for Differences (CFD) costs. You could see a 20–25% reduction in your annual electricity expenses.
