Do I qualify to pay 5% VAT on my energy? If so what do I need to do?

If your site is a non-profit making organisation (e.g. a charity), you will be charged 5% VAT. To ensure you’re paying the correct VAT, we must receive a valid exemption certificate. To find out if you qualify, please contact HM Revenue & Customs. You can download VAT declaration form and then submit it to [email protected]. Further qualifying list, can be found under VAT Notice 701/19 on the HMRC website at gov.uk.

5% VAT (gas usage) 

You can also be charged 5% VAT if your premises/site (at account level) consumes below 4,397kWh in any given month. This is automatically calculated on your invoice.

5% VAT (electricity usage)

You will be charged 5% VAT if your premises/site consumes below 33 units per day on average per calendar month. Should this be exceeded then the full rate of 20% VAT will apply. This is automatically calculated on your invoice.
