Energy Intensive Industries Compensation Scheme Experts
Our dedicated Energy Tax team provides an end-to-end consultation service, taking you through the CCL claims process to ensure you receive the maximum financial benefit you are entitled to.
ll businesses are automatically charged CCL on the usage, but some businesses are exempt, and we can help you claim exemption. Not only that but you are also about to claim a rebate for the last 4 years if you have been paying for CCL during that period when you could have been exempt.
Your energy bill is made of commodity and non-commodity costs and CCL makes up a% of those non-commodity costs. It is a tax designed to make UK businesses more sustainable. It is designed to encourage businesses to reduce energy use by being more efficient thus drive a reduction in greenhouse gases.
CCL on average is anywhere between 4% and 7% of your entire energy bill.
The rate for Gas has increased year on year since 2019 so the cost of CCL has been a factor in increased energy costs.
VAT is also charged on CCL – effectively a tax on a tax.
It is hard to be exact as the guidance is substantial but as a brief overview the following areas could be exempt.
1- For supplies used in some forms of transport
2- For use in metallurgical and mineralogical processes
3- For Domestic and charitable non-business use
The lists are substantial so if you want to know if you could qualify for a reduction in your energy bill, we can advise you.

Via the EII scheme, eligible businesses can apply for compensation for 15-30% of the costs of their total energy bills.
Energy-intensive industries pay more because of their higher consumption thus leading to a significant price differential between the UK and countries which have lower or zero pricing for carbon. The EII compensation scheme is designed to help reduce this differential.
