U.K. recognises India's carbon credit scheme under its carbon tax mechanism: official
The U.K. has recognised India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) for relief under its carbon border tax. So importers of eligible Indian goods can claim relief on the carbon price already paid. That reduces the extra cost for Indian exporters. In practice, your U.K. buyer must provide proper evidence and verification to claim it. Keep clear records of carbon credit payments. This benefits Indian exporters.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The U.K.'s HM Treasury confirmed India's CCTS is now on its indicative list of overseas carbon pricing schemes for CBAM.
- U.K. importers of eligible Indian goods covered under CBAM can now seek carbon price relief.
- India's CCTS works by pricing greenhouse gas emissions through trading of Carbon Credit Certificates.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you export to the U.K., start collecting clear records of carbon credit payments and verification under the CCTS, so your U.K. importer can claim the relief.
