Submit returns for Climate Change Levy

Imported from official source

You must submit regular Climate Change Levy returns if you are a supplier of taxable energy commodities.

  • complete a Climate Change Levy return every 3 months
  • send us your return by the last working day of the month following the end of the accounting period
  • You will submit your return in the same way for both the main Climate Change Levy rates and the Carbon Price Support rates.

    You must keep records that prove the amounts of levy you declare on your return are correct.

    If you find that your returns or records have errors, you must correct them.

    When completing your return you can group several corrections together if they:

  • are the same type (under declaration or over declaration)
  • relate to the same type of fuel (such as gas)
  • relate to the same rate (like Climate Change Levy or Carbon Price Support)
  • You should only add new corrections to your return. The corrections should only go back a maximum of 4 tax years.

    Before you send your return, you’ll need:

  • your Climate Change Levy reference number — you’ll find this on your registration certificate
  • your business details — you should use the name and address provided when you registered, unless you’ve contacted HMRC to change them
  • the start and end date of your return period
  • the amount of Climate Change Levy or Carbon Price Support you owe or are owed for the return period — we will request these amounts separately on the return
  • your company bank details — if you’ve overpaid and need to claim a refund
  • You’ll be able to correct any over or under-declarations. If you’re VAT-registered, we’ll ask you for your turnover from your VAT Return, as it will affect how much you can correct.

    You’ll need to declare each fuel type included in the return and the amount owed during the return period.

    You’ll need to sign in to submit your return. If you do not already have sign-in details, you’ll be able to create them.
