EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Supplies of solid fuel(3) valued at no more than £15 per tonne(4) become subject to climate change levy, starting on 1 January 2010.

Such fuel was previously not subject to the levy because of the Climate Change Levy (Solid Fuel) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/1137), which this instrument revokes.

A full and final Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as a negligible impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
