Energy
The Climate Change Levy (CCL) is applied to all non-domestic energy bills and effectively taxes businesses on their energy consumption and its associated environmental effects. By participating in a Climate Change Agreement (CCA), businesses in certain sectors may pay a reduced rate of CCL in exchange for meeting tough energy efficiency or carbon abatement targets that were agreed with the Government in December 2012.
BCC also successfully led calls for the Government to introduce a full exemption from CCL for the energy used in mineralogical processes.
The mineralogical process exemption, which came into effect in April 2014, benefits the majority of ceramic manufacturers.
In addition to helping ensure that members remain compliant, BCC actively monitors and provides input into Government’s policy developments in these areas. BCC is recognised by regulators as the leading contact for the ceramics industry.
