UK small businesses and charities say nuclear levy could add thousands to bills

UK Small Businesses and Charities Concerned About Nuclear Levy A new levy on energy bills, intended to support the government's nuclear power ambitions, is expected to have a disproportionate impact on British charities and small businesses. The charge, set to take effect next month, could increase their costs by thousands of pounds annually. Trade groups have warned that the additional expense could lead to a reduction in community services and hamper economic growth, as energy-intensive industries have been granted exemptions from the levy. This has raised concerns among charities and small businesses, who fear the levy could have a significant financial burden on their operations. The article highlights the potential consequences of the nuclear levy, particularly for those organizations that may not have the resources to absorb the increased costs, and the potential impact on the wider community and economic landscape.
