If your healthcare organization is run as a charity or non-profit, you could reduce your energy bills further. Although suppliers don’t necessarily offer discounts to charitable organisations, you could make savings on your energy-related taxes.
Charities are only required to pay 5% VAT on their energy bills, not the full 20%. However, many charities are missing out on these savings as they currently treated as a small business by their suppliers. If you’re paying the full 20% VAT on your energy bills, you should contact your energy supplier as soon as possible.
Charities and non-profit organisations are also exempt from paying the Climate Change Levy (CCL). If CCL charges are being added to your bill, you can contact your supplier to correct this.
