Don’t Lose Your Climate Change Levy Relief!
If your business benefits from Climate Change Levy (CCL) relief, through a Climate Change Agreement (CCA) or a MINMET agreement, it’s vital to understand what happens when you switch energy suppliers.
A Common Misunderstanding
Many businesses assume that once CCL relief forms are submitted, they stay in place permanently. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Each time you move to a new supplier at the end of your energy contract, you must complete and submit fresh CCL forms to ensure your relief continues.
““It is not the case that you fill out your forms once and you get the relief forever more.””
Without those updated forms, the new supplier won’t automatically apply the relief, and your bills could increase unnecessarily.
What If You’ve Missed It?
The good news is that overpaid CCL charges can often be recovered. By submitting the correct forms to your supplier, you can reclaim relief and ensure it’s applied going forward.
How We Help
At Greenfields, we make this process part and parcel of our client service. We guide businesses through the paperwork to make sure relief is applied correctly when switching suppliers, helping you avoid costly oversights.
The Takeaway
If your business benefits from CCL relief, always remember: every time you change energy supplier, new forms are required. Missing this step could mean paying more than you need to, but with the right support, it’s simple to get right.
