answer text <p>Waste crime – including landfill tax fraud - is a blight on local communities, harms the environment and undermines legitimate businesses operating in the waste sector. The government is committed to tackling this issue, through a multi-agency response led by Defra and the Joint Unit for Waste Crime.</p><p> </p><p>The government regularly publishes an assessment of the tax gap across the tax system. HMRC has collected and protected over £800m in additional Landfill Tax since 2018 with ever closer collaboration between government departments to make this possible and lay the foundations for further strengthening the regime.</p><p><em> </em></p><p>As part of next steps on the Landfill Tax Review, the government will consider the impact of any potential changes to the tax on Landfill Tax fraud, evasion and waste crime and the interaction of potential changes with upcoming environmental regulatory reforms designed to improve compliance and tackle waste crime.</p> more like this

answer text <p>As announced at Autumn Statement from January 2023 a 45% tax is being levied on the extraordinary returns being realised by certain electricity generators. This is forecast to raise around £14 billion over the next 5 years to help fund support for households and business with their energy bills as well as vital public services.</p><p> </p><p>The levy will only be applied to extraordinary returns defined as returns from selling electricity for a period at an average price of more than £75/MWh. This is approximately 1.5 times the average price of electricity over the last decade. The Government considers this to be a proportionate approach to recovering a share of the extraordinary returns electricity generators are receiving while leaving generators a share of the revenue from high electricity prices. The Office for Budget Responsibility considered the impact of the levy on its economic and fiscal forecasts which was published at Autumn Statement in its economic and fiscal outlook. Further information on the impact of the policy is set out in a Tax Information Impact Note which is available on <a href="http://www.gov.uk" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a></p><p> </p><p>The Government continues to provide considerable support for investment in renewables Since 2014 the Contracts for Difference scheme has enabled around 26GW of new low-carbon capacity, with generators receiving almost £6 billion net in price support. The UK has reduced emissions faster than any other G7 nation, with 41% of our electricity coming from renewables last year, compared to 22% in the USA.</p>

At Spring Statement it was forecast to raise around £14 billion over the next 5 years which will help fund support for households and business with their energy bills as well as vital public services.</p><p> </p><p>The Electricity Generator Levy (EGL) and the Electricity Profits Levy (EPL) are designed very differently. Unlike the EPL, the EGL is not a tax on a comprehensive measure of profit that is calculated after recognition of total revenues and costs. Instead, it is payable on the portion of revenues that exceed the long-run average for electricity prices. Rather than providing an investment allowance the government has taken into account the potential impact on investment in the design of the levy with the benchmark price, £75/MWh, being set at 1.5 times the pre-crisis level and indexed to CPI.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Energy Bills Discount Scheme (EBDS) will provide all eligible businesses and other non-domestic energy users with a discount on high energy bills for 12 months from 1 April 2023 until 31 March 2024. It will also provide businesses in sectors with particularly high levels of energy use and trade intensity with a higher level of support.</p><p> </p><p>EBDS will help those locked into contracts signed before recent substantial falls in the wholesale price manage their costs and provide others with reassurance against the risk of prices rising again.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is aware that some businesses are having difficulties securing the benefit of falling wholesale prices from their energy suppliers. The Government welcomes Ofgem’s recent update on their investigation into the non-domestic retail market. We encourage them to complete their review at pace and welcome their commitment to take swift compliance and enforcement action against any supplier who has breached market rules.</p>
