Budget Briefing Update – 16th March 2020

Budget Briefing Update - CCL and CCA

Changes to the Climate Change Levy (CCL) main rates from 1st April 2020 will be accompanied by changes to the reduced rates for participants in the Climate Change Agreement (CCA) scheme. The reduced rate changes aim to limit the change in CCL liability for CCA participants to broadly RPI only. 

CCA participants need to review and submit revised PP10 and PP11 forms as early as possible after 31st March 2020. Submitting the forms quickly reduces the risk of overpaying or underpaying tax which would then have to be put right via the correct process which could delay a claim. 

As you are probably aware, forms PP10 and PP11 are used to obtain various reliefs from CCL, including the reduced rates. Form PP10 helps calculate the percentage of relief entitlement and is sent to HMRC. Form PP11 requires the overall percentage calculated by the PP10 and is sent to the supplier to apply the appropriate amount of relief to energy bills. 

From 1st April 2020 a new PP10 will be available. The revised form contains an extra question confirming the date of the claim which should ensure the correct new discount percentage is calculated for CCA participants.

If you are a CCA participant, please complete the new PP10 and PP11 and send them to HMRC and your supplier respectively as soon as possible after 31st March 2020.
