FAQ
CCL & VAT relief: the questions customers ask.
Who can get CCL removed?
Charities and other organisations using energy for qualifying non-business purposes, such as places of worship, can have the Climate Change Levy removed on the qualifying share of their supply. The supplier needs a declaration (PP11) confirming the share.
When is VAT charged at 5%?
Energy used by a charity for non-business activities, and domestic-type use, can be charged at the reduced 5% rate instead of 20%. The supplier needs a VAT declaration for the qualifying share.
What does a Climate Change Agreement (CCA) do?
Energy-intensive businesses with a CCA pay a reduced CCL: currently 8% of the main rate on electricity and 11% on gas, so 92% and 89% off. A CCA doesn’t change the VAT rate.
Can overpaid CCL be claimed back?
Overpaid CCL can usually be reclaimed through the supplier for up to four years. Set the look-back slider to match what the customer is eligible to claim.
How accurate is this?
It uses HMRC’s published CCL main rates and the figures you enter from the bill. Treat it as an estimate: the final figure depends on eligibility, declarations and the supplier.
