After you have successfully registered with the Master Bakers Climate Change Levy Discount Scheme and obtained your Underlying Agreement, you will be entitled to your 80% Levy discount for the first two years of the CCLA. This entitlement will be renewed every 2 years, providing you meet your milestone targets.

You will need to provide the Master Bakers Scheme Administrator with an annual data return showing energy consumption and production data. The annual data return will be based upon a "Climate Change Levy Reporting Year", which will be from October 1st to September 30th. The Scheme Administrator will send you an annual request for data towards the end of each Reporting Year.

The first collection of annual data will be based on Reporting Year October 1st 2000 to 30th September 2001. The request for this first set of data will be made in late September 2001. Similarly, in all subsequent years, a request for annual data will be sent out in late September.

You will need to return this data to the Scheme Administrator by mid-November each year. Annual data reports showing the consolidated performance of Master Bakers Participants will be sent to DEFRA in January of each year.

The first milestone target will be based upon your energy usage in the Reporting Year October 1st 2001 to September 30th 2002. To balance your emission accounts, you will be allowed to take part in emission trading transactions at any time up to mid-January 2003.

NAMB/SAMB will report consolidated data (including all emission trading transactions) to DEFRA on January 31st 2003. Similar timings will apply in each of the subsequent milestone years (See Information Sheet 3 for a list of milestone dates).
