ENERGY TAX RELIEF
Slash your energy costs with energy tax relief
Substantial Savings across Multiple Government Exemptions
Did you know that the government offers a range of schemes and incentives designed to help companies like yours reduce these expenses and stay globally competitive? Our team of energy tax specialists are here to guide you through the complex landscape of energy-related government support.
Energy intensive industries exemption scheme (EII)
This scheme aims to exempt companies that deemed Energy Intensive Industries, and which are operating within eligible sectors from up to “25% of their monthly electric costs over 5 years”.
Climate change levy exemption scheme (CCL)
The CCL is an environmental tax on energy usage, which represents on average 4-7% of the overall monthly bill, however, companies meeting certain criteria can be eligible for either a full exemption or a partial relief. This scheme allows for a 4-years retrospective rebate as a direct cash injection. “So a repayment for the last 48 months worth of CCL spend.”
Does your
industry qualify?
UK Businesses must operate within an eligible industry to benefit from the CCL Exemption. To qualify for the EII Exemption UK businesses must pass a sector level test as well as a business level test consisting of a desktop assessment based on your energy consumption and your financial statements.
