Understanding the energy caps and what it means for your business 

Following the recent announcements about energy support for businesses by Government and calls the BPMA has undertaken with Government teams, we have invited Open Energy’s Andy Powell to speak to the industry about the cap and what happens after the 6 month support package stops plus some practical advice.

Open to the industry to attend, this webinar is most relevant for companies using over 100,000KWh. Unfortunately, this session won’t be able to address domestic energy questions.

This session is open to the whole industry to attend. Please register for the session and to receive access to the recording.

Why are we hosting this session?

HMRC introduced the Plastic Packaging Tax earlier this year and despite a lot of publicity, there remain many questions about why, who and what this new tax applies to in the promotional merchandise industry. 

We are delighted to be joined by Eleanor Coyne from HMRC for this special industry session to explain more about the tax and answer your questions.

Since the tax was introduced, it’s fair to say the promotional merchandise industry has been unsure about its role in the tax, where it should be charged, who is liable and who should be keeping records.

This session is open to the whole industry to attend. Please register for the session and to receive access to the recording.
