Cutting your carbon emissions

Tax breaks are on offer as an incentive to encourage you to adopt certain environmentally-responsible practices. For example:

• Using sources of energy that have less environmental impact can make your business eligible for a reduction in the climate change levy.
• Encouraging staff and business travel by sustainable methods can attract certain tax benefits - see workplace travel planning.

If your business is in an energy-intensive sector, you may need to have an emissions trading permit.
