    Key UK Challenges

    Complexities you face

    • Long-term contract revenue recognition under FRS 102 — percentage of completion method
    • Managing Contracts for Difference (CfD) revenue — strike price vs reference price calculations
    • Accounting for government grants and subsidies under FRS 102 Section 24
    • Climate Change Levy compliance — exemptions, reduced rates, and Climate Change Agreements
    • Asset lifecycle management — long-lived infrastructure assets with complex depreciation profiles
    • Regulatory reporting to Ofgem including licence fee calculations and performance obligations

    Tax Considerations

    HMRC rules & reliefs

    • Enhanced capital allowances — 100% first-year allowance on qualifying energy-efficient equipment
    • Full expensing — new qualifying plant and machinery at 100% in the first year
    • Climate Change Levy — standard rates on gas, electricity, and solid fuels; reduced rates via CCAs
    • CfD income — taxable revenue; timing differences between accounting and tax recognition
    • Government grants — tax treatment depends on whether capital or revenue grant
    • Corporation Tax — 25% on profits; significant capital investment creates timing benefits
