How the BPIF can help you avoid the forthcoming hike in the Climate Change Levy.
The BPIF’s Climate Change Levy Reduction Scheme allows printing companies to claim huge discounts off the levy that appears on all industries energy bills. And the good news is that the government has recently extended the scheme for a further two years and opened it up again for new joiners.
This means you could join the 350 printing companies currently benefitting from the scheme to the collective tune of £14 million annually. But hurry as the window of opportunity for new joiners is only open until the end of November 2020.
The annual savings on offer depend on the energy consumption of a particular site and are shown below for various consumption levels.
