Paying Too Much for Energy? You Might Be Owed a CCL Refund

07Jul

 Many UK businesses are unknowingly paying more than they should on their energy bills thanks to a government tax called the Climate Change Levy (CCL).

If your business uses electricity or gas for commercial purposes, CCL charges likely appear on every invoice.

But what if you could reduce these charges or even claim a CCL refund for overpayments you have already made?

At Ecotilities, we help businesses do exactly that.

 

What Is the Climate Change Levy (CCL)?

The CCL is an environmental tax designed to encourage businesses to use energy more efficiently and reduce carbon emissions. It applies to most non-domestic electricity and gas usage across the UK and is charged per kilowatt hour (kWh).

Most businesses are automatically charged the standard CCL rate on their energy bills but not all of them should be.

 

Could Your Business Be Paying Less?

It is very possible.

Thousands of businesses across the UK are eligible for CCL relief or even a rebate on past payments but many do not realize it.

You may qualify if you are a:

  • Businesses in energy-intensive sectors (such as manufacturing or food processing) that are eligible for a Climate Change Agreement (CCA)
  • Charities using energy for non-commercial purposes
  • Small businesses that fall below the de minimis thresholds for energy usage
  • Organizations that have incorrectly been billed for CCL over a period

If your organization falls into any of these categories, you may be entitled to:

  • Reduced CCL charges going forward
  • A rebate on overpayments already made
