After a site has established a CCLA you will need to contact your energy suppliers to inform them of this. Your energy suppliers will then make adjustments to your billing to give you the Levy discount. The full Climate Change Levy and your discount will be itemised separately on your fuel invoice. With this process you will get your discount as soon as the Levy starts in April 2001. H M Customs and Excise will be responsible for collecting the residual Levy from each energy supplier.

The discount you get will not automatically be 80%. It could be higher, if some of your energy gets 100% discount (e.g. if you buy renewable energy). Alternatively it could be less than 80% if some of your energy is used in a part of your site that is not eligible. You will need to establish your rate of discount and declare this to your energy suppliers who will adjust the Levy rate as appropriate. The Scheme Administrators can help with this process.
