Welcome to the Climate Change Levy Discount Scheme

In April this year UK businesses became liable for the Climate Change Levy (CCL), a new energy tax that adds about 15% to typical energy bills. Many intensive users of energy are able to join Climate Change Levy Agreements helping mitigate the effects this tax. Under these agreements, business that accept and subsequently meet energy reduction targets will receive an 80% levy discount until the year 2013.

Over 40 CCL Agreements are in place. A list of every trade association that has a CCL Agreement and a brief description of the eligible activities they include can be viewed by clicking here.

This site is a useful point of reference for companies wanting to optimise their response to the CCL. We provide information packs, training, links to other useful websites, all the latest news, helpline support as well as a simple tool to allow you to calculate the cost of the levy to your business .
