It should be noted that VAT on electricity is dependent on the price charged by the supplier. Consequently, fluctuations in electricity prices will result in corresponding variations in the VAT yield.
Budget 2026 has committed to keeping the 9% rate of VAT on household gas and electricity bills until 31 December 2030.
The estimated VAT from the supply of electricity in the specified years is as follows:
