The Climate Change Levy (CCL) effective from 1 April 2001, was introduced on energy use in the non-residential sector. Its aim is to encourage energy efficiency and help meet the United Kingdom's targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It applies to gas, electricity, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and coal. The rates of the levy are based on the energy content of the different energy products.
