More of your funds, where they are needed
Charities are too often billed like ordinary small businesses, when much of their energy qualifies for the reduced 5% VAT rate and a full Climate Change Levy exemption. Suppliers rarely apply this automatically, so many charities overpay for years. Getting it right, and reclaiming what is owed, frees up money for the cause.
Why charity energy is different
Valuable tax reliefs, a business-versus-charitable split and tight budgets make charity energy a job worth doing properly.
Reduced VAT and CCL relief
Energy used for charitable, non-business activities qualifies for 5% VAT and a 100% Climate Change Levy exemption.
Business vs charitable split
Running a cafe, shop or ticketed events counts as business use, even if profits go to the cause, so the split needs working out.
Often overpaying
Suppliers do not apply the relief automatically, so many charities sit on the full 20% rate without realising.
Backdated rebates
If you have been charged the wrong rate, you can usually reclaim up to four years of overpaid VAT and levy.
