EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Climate change levy is charged on supplies of electricity, gas and solid fuels that are not for domestic or charity use. Supplies for non-fuel use are exempt.

These Regulations amend Part B of Schedule 1 to the Climate Change Levy (Fuel Use and Recycling Processes) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1715) so that the use of coal and coke partly as fuel and partly for their structural properties as bedding agents in the extraction of gas from waste is specified as a non-fuel use.
