The below Parliamentary question was asked by Rebecca Long Bailey on 2016-04-25.

Damian Hinds

At Autumn Statement 2015 it was announced that a transitional period for electricity suppliers to apply the Climate Change Levy exemption on renewably-sourced electricity generated before 1 August 2015 would end on 31 March 2018. This followed an informal consultation by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). HMRC informed all respondents of the outcome in letters sent on 26 November 2015. As this was an informal consultation, and some of the responses contain commercially sensitive information, a summary of responses will not be published.
