Check if your business qualifies for EII levy relief

Answer a few quick questions to see if you’re likely to qualify for an EII certificate and network cost compensation.

Do you manufacture in Great Britain? If you operate in both GB and NI, choose “Yes”. (GB certificates apply to GB meters.) Your activity Pick the closest match. We’ll verify exact NACE code later.

Total business electricity (MWh) Use your last financial year total (grid + any non-grid import). Estimates are fine for this check. How do you want to give us GVA?

EBITDA (£) EBITDA = earnings before interest, tax, depreciation & amortisation (see explainer below). Total staff costs (£) Include employer NI and pensions.

Operating profit (EBIT) (£) From your P&L (“Operating profit/loss”). Depreciation + amortisation (£) If unsure, enter your best estimate (can be 0). Total staff costs (£)

We’ll estimate EBITDA as Operating profit + Depreciation + Amortisation , then GVA as EBITDA + staff costs.

Optional: improve accuracy

% of metered electricity that is yours If you share a meter with other businesses. % of your electricity for eligible product(s) If your site makes eligible and non-eligible products.

What is EBITDA (in plain English)?

It’s a profit number before financing and tax, and before non-cash charges:

Start with your Operating profit (EBIT)
+ Depreciation and + Amortisation

The guidance uses GVA = EBITDA + staff costs for the 20% test. Don’t worry if you don’t know EBITDA — use the “Help me estimate” option above and we’ll calculate it for you.

How the quick check works: We apply the government method with a fixed representative electricity price (BEP) of £190.51/MWh (2012 prices) and calculate electricity intensity as (BEP × MWh) ÷ GVA. Eligibility is met if the result is ≥ 20%. Formal applications deflate values to 2012 prices across periods and set meter-level proportions. This checker is an indicator only.
