\n\t\tOLEV Workplace Scheme\n\t<\/h1>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tWhat is the Grant?\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t

The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) is a voucher-based scheme that provides support towards the up-front costs of the purchase and installation of electric vehicle charge-points, for eligible businesses, charities and public sector organisations.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWho can apply for the OLEV Workplace Grant?\n\t\t\t\t

Any business, charity or public authority is eligible to claim the grant towards the
cost of installing electric vehicle charge points providing they have dedicated off-street\u00a0parking for staff or fleet use only.\u00a0 The grant is available throughout Scotland and England.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHow much can I claim?\n\t\t\t\t

The grant will pay up to \u00a3350 per socket, up to a maximum of 40 chargers<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMy business is not VAT and\/or Companies House Registered. Can I still claim?\n\t\t\t\t

Yes, but you must be able to attach evidence that they are registered as a company with HMRC. You will need to provide a copy of your registration on application. If you are a charity, you can use your registration to the Charity Commission.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDoes the business need to own an EV Vehicle to Claim?\n\t\t\t\t

No. However, you need to declare either a current need for EV charging infrastructure or an intention to encourage uptake amongst your staff and\/or fleet.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMy employees currently have their own EV Vehicles which they intend to charge for free at work. Is this a taxable benefit?\n\t\t\t\t

The Government will legislate a tax exemption in relation to employees who charge their own electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles at work. This means the value of the electricity used will not be taxed as a benefit-in-kind.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhere can I find more information?\n\t\t\t\t
