The climate change levy (CCL) is a tax on energy use by businesses and the public sector. Energy includes electricity from the national grid, gas, coal and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The aim of the CCL is to encourage energy efficiency and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
Businesses pay the levy through their energy bills. If it applies to you, it is already included in your energy bills. This tax is offset by reductions in National Insurance Contributions.
The rate you pay depends on the type of fuel you use. You will pay a reduced CCL if your organisation belongs to a trade association who has signed a Climate Change Agreement with the Environment Agency.
This levy is paid as part of the company's energy bills.
