Climate Change Levy
The
Climate Change Levy (CCL) is an environmental energy tax introduced
by the government in April 2001. It follows the Kyoto Protocol,
where targets to reduce carbon emissions were set and agreed by the
UK and other countries as part of the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change.
Climate
change levy is part of a range of measures designed to help the UK
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is chargeable on the
industrial and commercial supply of taxable commodities for
lighting, heating and power. All businesses that purchase
non-renewable energy will have to pay a Climate Change Levy (CCL)
where the rate they pay depends on the type of fuel they
use.
