The Climate Change Levy is a tax paid by non-domestic UK
energy users. The levy was introduced in 2001 with the aim of incentivising
energy efficiency and helping to reduce carbon emissions. Domestic energy use
is classed as an electricity supply no greater than 1,000 kWh per month, while CCL
is paid at either the main rates or the carbon price support (CPS) rates.
Main rates
These apply to companies in the industrial, commercial,
agricultural and public services sectors and are payable for the use of electricity,
gas and solid fuels (i.e. lignite, coke and petroleum).
Charities and businesses using small amounts of energy are
exempt from the main rates of CCL.
- Electricity: 0.541p per kW hour (0.559p from April 1 2016)
- Gas: 0.188p per kW hour (0.195p from April 1 2016)
- Gas supplied in a liquid state: 1.21p per kilogram (1.251 p from April 1 2016).
CPS rates
Owners of electricity generating stations and operators of
combined heat and power (CHP) stations are liable for CPS rates. Gas, liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG) plus coal and other solid fossil fuels all qualify. CPS
rates do not apply in Northern Ireland.
- Gas: 0.334p per kW hour (0.331p from April 1 2016)
- LPG: 5.307p per kilogram (5.28p from April 1 2016)
- Coal and other solid fossil fuels: £1.5686 per gigajoule on gross calorific value (£1.5479 from April 1 2016).
