Charities registered with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are entitled to a reduced Value Added Tax (VAT) charge of 5% on their energy bills. As a charity, you must register for VAT with HMRC if your VAT taxable turnover is more than £85,0001. If your charity is not currently recognised as such by HMRC, and is VAT registered, you can apply for recognition online on the following link: https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/register-charity-hmrc/check-eligibility/register-the-charity.
